Don’t know, I first heard him in early 2000-2001 and became a fan of both he and Jonny Lang around the same time. Still a fan of Kenny’s but not so much of Lang after he got religion and his sound completely changed. Here’s one from before the flip to gospel…
Co-worker handed me a cassette to listen to. (Trouble Is album.)
Blue on Black track off it wasn't getting the air time yet it would later.
Or I wouldn't have heard of him till much later.
