Editorial Review:
The Place You're In, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's long-awaited fourth album, marks a stunning stylistic shift for an artist who almost single-handedly introduced blues-rock to a new audience. One of the most acclaimed guitarists of his generation not only leans more heavily toward rock,but also releases his first album featuring his vocals. Says Shepherd, whose first three albums went gold or platinum and who has earned seven Top 10 Mainstream Rock cuts and three Grammy® nominations: "We're all growing and changing....We might as well get behind it and enjoy the ride." And enjoy The Place You're In.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Open your mind to great music
Obviously, the majority of reviewers for this album are fans of the blues, not fans of Kenny Wayne Shephard or good music in general. This is a great blues-inspired rock album. I could have done without the Kid Rock song, but everything else is totally solid. There is plenty of the soulful playing that made KWS a star, it's just that most of the songs are a little more upbeat. I like blues and rock, so I think this is a phenomenal album that steered KWS away from the rut into which he had been ... Read More
Rating:  - What Could of Been
I hate to criticize music, seems to be too many people doing so and its all quite subjective anyway but I was confused as to what direction Kenny is going on this disc. The blues, totally gone and as far as a rock effort goes its not bad. However, Kenny taking over most of the vocals duties from Noah was a serious mistake. Kenny's voice is alright but it lacks that distinction that makes Noah's vocals stand out. I think if he wanted to release a rock album he should of called it by another name because ... Read More
Rating: - Good news and bad news... (2.5 stars very middle of the road)
First, the good news:
Rock and roll isn't dead, a prime example is on this CD. It's good rock, not my favorite, but acceptable.
Okay, the bad news:
This isn't the blues CD I was hoping for. You don't hear the fabulous KWS guitar as strongly as you have on his previous collections. Maybe if I forget it's Kenny Wayne, I'll like it better.
Definitely listen to the samples before you buy this. If you are set on a blues CD, you need to look elsewhere. ... Read More
Rating:  - Get Over the Fact It Is Not Blues
When Bob Dylan went electric everyone bemoaned his selling out. I own every KWSB album and while this album is clearly mainstream rock and roll, and has some flavor of other top rock and roll musicians, it is hardly a failure and is one of the better rock albums I bought last year. I think the criticism is mis-placed by other reviewers who are requiring the artist to never vary from their prior recordings.
Rating: - Not his style but great
If you buys this cd expecting the blues style on Kenny you will not be pleased, but if you also like pure rock you will be pleased. People are rateing this cd based on the fact that it is not a blues rock cd rather than rating the quality of the songs. It rocks!! If you like rock you will like it, if you will only except his origianl blues rock style don't buy it.
