Chords for Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Lay It On Down (Album Trailer) 2017

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Em] I like to leave a lot of the creative interpretation to [C] the studio.
We cut this thing live.
[Am] Everybody was in the room together.
This is how [Em] we did the last record.
I'm just not fond of making [E] records [C] where people are disconnected.
When you're all [A] in a room together and you're playing this
and you're kind of feeling [G] your way through it,
there's an opportunity there for something new to come [C] in.
It's basically a live performance [E] is what we're trying to capture.
We're [G] cutting live, which isn't something that is done as much [C] anymore.
It was about [E] nonverbal communication and musical communication.
One of the benefits [Em] of going after this record [E] the way we did
is [G] that Kenny Wayne Shepard's leading the sound [C] and the songs.
You're [Em] a fool, I love it.
Makes [E] me [C] want to move with [A] you.
_ [Em] You're watching Kenny [F#] play a solo and you know [E] the solo is going longer
[C] because you can just see that he's so deep into it.
[A] You wrap that [G] solo for another eight bars.
When you're playing live and someone's [Em] deep in it, you yield to [Bm] that. _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ Everything goes through the tape machine, very old-fashioned in that way.
Less, less engine [Bm] with a rumbling
[F#m] _ _ [B] Set off at the next exit sign
Playing music and being in a band is about communicating and listening while you're [E] doing it.
We like to do a lot of spontaneous things.
We'll start on something and it could be [Dm] an hour, two hours later
and where we started and [A] where we ended up are two different places.
It's how [G] music's supposed to be made.
[A] Later we got stoned [B] again
[G] _ [C] I started writing for this album almost two years ago.
I wanted to focus on [F] telling some great stories.
I've had a similar approach my whole life.
I generally try to write songs about life's [F] experience.
_ Between McKinney Wayne Shepard Band [C] and my other band, The Rides, I'm on the road a lot.
Any opportunity that I got, I was making pretty regular trips to write [Bm] songs for this record.
_ [D] _
_ [D#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
We got a [Em] lot of familiar faces.
If you're familiar [A] with the band, you got myself on guitar and vocals.
[E] We have Noah on lead vocals, who's been with my band for 20 years now.
Chris Layton from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble on drums.
I've actually been on all of Kenny's records, save one.
On bass, I brought [Em] in Kevin McCormick, who is the bass player in my other band, The Rides,
with Steven Stills and Barry Goldberg.
Because Chris and Kevin are the rhythm section in that [G] band and they work so well together.
Jim's a great keyboard player from [A] Los Angeles.
As a band, [Em] looking at this group of guys,
I think it's one of the greatest groups of musicians that I've ever had in the studio, [G] for sure.
[A] _ [Em] Kenny Wayne doesn't say to me, do this like this.
He's brought [A] us out here to do what we do.
It [G#] would just be another great groove that we could just jam out on.
Recording in Shreveport, where Kenny Wayne was born, where he first picked up a guitar,
[D] gave us something special.
There's a comfort to the [E] entire process because he's comfortable.
_ [Bm] _ _ Put him on the floor in his hometown [A] with a great band and a great engineer [G] and an amazing studio,
and I think you set yourself up for transcendence.
We're still learning and I think we're [Bm] still growing and maturing as artists.
And [A] I dare say that I think [E] we're getting better.
[G] We're trying to bring a young, fresh approach to blues-based, rock and roll, little country vibe.
[A] You know, just roots music.
