'Young Fashioned Ways' presents a cross-generational summit, merging the earthy, funk-infused blues of legend Bobby Rush with the virtuosic guitar of Kenny Wayne Shepherd. The album’s production, captured at Royal Studios in Memphis, emphasizes a raw, organic chemistry across both stripped-down arrangements and full-band tracks, foregrounding the interplay between Rush's seasoned vocals and harmonica and Shepherd's adaptable, fiery guitar work. Featuring new co-written material alongside revamped Rush songs and a tribute to Muddy Waters, the collection bridges traditional and contemporary blues styles.
