Kenny Wayne is something of an anomaly among modern blues pianists. He favors neither deep, dark left-hand bass rumbles nor frantic right-hand skittering in the upper registers. Rather, he likes to take things at a medium-tempo, even-handed gait, even when he's working in the full-speed-ahead style of boogie-woogie bluesmen like Amos Milburn (Kenny's original "Joogie to the Boogie" and remakes of three Milburn classics). He's also partial to the curling New Orleans licks of Professor Longhair ("Blackberry Wine") and the laid-back "cocktail blues" sophistication of Charles Brown ("Bewildered"). Add in Wayne's wispy, insinuating voice and you've got yourself an undeniably pleasant late-night blues set. It won't set the house on fire, but it's not supposed to, and in an age of blues excess you've got to appreciate that approach. --John Morthland

Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne is at the forefront of modern day blues and boogie woogie piano practitioners, working hard to keep this glorious music alive and kicking. Well versed in the New Orleans Blues and Jazz tradition by his Louisiana born parents, Kenny has along the way picked up a taste for Kansas City Swing and West Coast Jump which has made his dynamic live show much in demand at clubs and festivals in both North America and Europe. Here on "Let It Loose" his latest release on Electro-Fi we are gifted with the full spectrum of Kenny’s prodigious songwriting ability as well as a three song tribute to past master Amos Milburn. In a blues world populated, some would say overpopulated with wailing guitars and harmonicas, it’s reassuring that when Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne sits down at the piano bench and dances his ten digits over 88 keys, great things happen!
