village voice guitar heroes
To bad my father wasn't tight with James Brown and record executives as
well.
well, I didn't know that before I saw him play. I think he's very good. just
one person's opinion and I didn't mean it to be offensive. you'd be
surprised how many talented people there are who have some kind of ties to
well known personnel and not just kenny.
I don't mean to belittle your opinion, I just think he lacks originality
among other things and wouldn't put him in a 'guitar hero' catergory. His
band is ok, but he needs to learn to compose and sing if he wants to go much
further. And there are many talented people with some kind of ties to well
known personnel but you forgot one thing: Kenny isn't really that talented.
Would he be where he is (was?) if not for daddy's connections? Talking of
new guitar heroes, I prefer Derek Trucks. Granted he has ties to well known
personnel but he is far more talented than say Johnny Lang or KWS. Go into
any club any night of the week and you'll see players better than KWS or
Johnny Lang (or Jack White for that matter). Unfortuantely, we all know that
talent does not bring fame. We sometimes forget that the opposite is also
true.

ps no offense, just a friendly difference of opinion.
