A Favorite Of 2023: Kenny Wayne Shepherd, 'Dirt on My Diamonds Vol. 1'

Be careful tonight if you are going out to celebrate the new year!


One of my favorite albums of 2023 is Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Dirt on My Diamonds Vol. 1. The album hit the top spot on the Billboard Blues chart and #7 on rock.
