Using his own contacts in the record business, Shepherd's father and manager, Ken Shepherd, helped his son land a major-label record deal with Giant Records. In 1995, his debut album was entitled Ledbetter Heights and featured original material and a few covers.
He recently converted to Catholicism and overcame an addiction problem, and that's become a theme of his current work. He is married to Hannah Gibson, daughter of Actor Mel Gibson.

I ain't looking for a one time girl
I need a little more to light up my world
I want a woman like, I want a woman like you
The same old, same old, change the station
To a new kinda cool, kinda conversation
Well, gimme that, gimme that sunshine stuff
Some of that summertime moonlight love
Looking so sweet with a bad ass attitude
Well, shake it up, shake it up all night long
Make a southern man wanna put you in a song
The right kinda wrong that I wanna fall into
Oh, I want a woman, yeah, I want a woman like you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You got something that I can't explain
Set me on fire when you call my name
Losing my mind when you're shaking that thing
Make me wanna, make me wanna give you that ring
Well, gimme that, gimme that sunshine stuffs
Some of that summertime moonlight love
Looking so sweet with a bad ass attitude
Well, shake it up, shake it up all night long
Make a southern man wanna put you in a song
The right kinda wrong that I wanna fall into
Oh, I want a woman, yeah, I want a woman like you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You got the power, now you got the brains
Locking my heart all up in chains
I ain't never gonna be the same
Well, gimme that, gimme that sunshine stuffs
Some of that summertime moonlight love

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band's song "Woman Like You" is a romantic rock song that expresses the desire for a specific type of woman. The opening lines express a need for something more than a one-time fling, stating that the singer is seeking someone to "light up" his world. This is followed by a request for something new and exciting, calling for a "new kinda cool, kinda conversation." The chorus then details the specific qualities the singer is looking for in a woman - someone who is simultaneously sweet and badass.
The second verse continues with a vivid description of the woman's mysterious appeal, noting that she has "something that I can't explain." This otherworldly allure is followed by a declaration of love so powerful that it leads the singer to consider proposing marriage: "Make me wanna, make me wanna give you that ring." The song then returns to the chorus, which emphasizes the sensual power and intoxicating influence of the idealized woman before concluding with a repetition of the song's title.
Overall, "Woman Like You" is a celebration of the transformative power of love, and the way a specific person can light up another's life with their unique combination of beauty, strength, and mystery.

Thomas Kanal
Excellent performance of the KWS band yesterday, May 6th, 2023, in the Lehenbachhalle in Winterbach, Germany, also with this song, and also with my all-time favourite "Blue on Black". Full speed Rock'n'Roll in the first 45 minutes, then also some of their beautiful ballads and some Blues. It has been an impressive evening with nearly 2 hours of best live music and great sound, with all over excellent musicians!
Thanks to the "Kulturinitiative Rock Winterbach" for bringing this awesome and impressive band into our region!
