I'm shock for as long as Shinedown has been around that people are just now finding out about them. No offense to anyone it just blows my mind. Brent's voice is so amazing! To me it doesn't matter what he sing he always hits it everytime. This is a awesome cover!!! I could sit and listen to him all day and never get sick of it.. Keep doing what you do Brent

whooooo, that last chorus when Brent really unloaded was amazing. You could tell he was being rather cautious through the song so he wouldn't offend Kenny, but that ending was AMAZING! Yet another incredible job by the members of Shinedown. *gives a big round of applause to them*

Ten years ago my cousin showed me this song. We talked about addictions, and our struggles. Last week we lost him to an OD. I pray anyone out there struggling can get help.
Kenny is such a cool dude. Both of my folks got a KWS club membership back when he was starting out and really small, which was a one time fee and you could meet with him backstage whenever he was playing. Now that he's huge, he still honors it and I got to meet him. It is really awesome that even though he got really big, if you still have that 3x5 laminated beat up membership card from when he just started, he will meet with you backstage and just chill with you and talk about life.

I have a couple of comments... KWS never got really big, and that is a good thing. I also saw him in small clubs back in the 90's... and I see him play small clubs now and then. Always a great show. Great music from a great guitarist... but I have to give plenty of cred to Noah - he is a superior vocalist and compliments Kenny so well. They have chemistry and it show. My main point is that KWS never really got that big... and I like that because I can see and hear great music in a small venue. I have seen over 100 huge arena filled rock concerts from all of the greats... some of them spectacular and many of them not so much. Small venues with great musicians are where it is at.

When the original writer of the song makes that face when you make his music sound so good!
Brent you just turned an amazing song into a legendary one with the original artist in the room! Wow! My respect for you is sky high! I grew up on this song and it just became one of my favorite covers ever done.
I have a bearded dragon who always relaxes when I play this song. At least he has good taste in music.
Brent-I tell you what-your voice certainly does justice to that song! And how cool to have Kenny Wayne playing! You got one helluva voice😘
4:50 Priceless. An approving smile from Kenny.
"Blue On Black" Night, falls, and I'm alone Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone You, turned and you ran, Oh yeah Oh slipped, right from my hand [Chorus:] Hey Blue on black Tears on a river Push on a shove It don't mean much Joker on jack Match on a fire Cold on ice A dead man's touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Don't bring you back Blue on black Oh yeah, blue on black Blind, oh, now i see Truth, lies, and in between Wrong, cant be undone Oh slipped, from the tip of Your tongue [Chorus:] Hey Blue on black Tears on a river Push on a shove It don't mean much Joker on jack Match on a fire Cold on ice A dead mans touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back, yeah Blue on black Oh, blue on black Oh, yeah [guitar solo] [Chorus (2x):] Blue on black Tears on a river Push on a shove It don't mean much Joker on jack Match on a fire Cold on ice Is a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Don't bring you back Blue on black Oh yeah, blue on black Hey Blue on black Tears on a river Push on a shove It don't mean much Joker on jack Match on a fire Cold on ice Is a dead mans touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back Blue on black Oh, blue on black Oh wha oh, blue on black Oh, blue on black
2 things--Brent made Kenny smile when he hit that hard section at the end and Kenny is a masterclass in picking.
I don't always download an album the day it is released, but when I do it is from Shinedown (or at least Smith and Myers).
First track I can stand listening to my own voice & my wine glasses and windows are still intact lol. Phenomenal voice and sound.
One of the best singers I have ever heard
I love the passion he has..... one of my favorite singers!!!
Brent is such a beautiful man with this voice from heaven!!! ❤️❤️❤️
What a great collaboration. 👍 love shinedown and Kenny Wayne. ❤️ 🎶 🎵
Ever since I first started listing to Shinedown I’ve been a fan since and that started 4-5 years ago and Godsmack I started back 9 years ago and when I had the chance to go to the Shinedown Godsmack concert I took that chance. Had planned it with my girl at the time but she decided to bounce so I bounced out to the concert said F*** you I’m still going so I went by myself and had a blast!! Every day I wish I could go back to that night!! Shinedown forever! 🤘🏽
The original singer had a real good southern style.
Awesome version of such a very underrated song IMO. Keep the great covers coming!!

I saw Kenny Wayne Shepard at the county fair before he was famous... It was awesome... We didn't even know he was going to be there... We just saw the fair sign and went in. Me and my girlfriend... She's now my wife for 24 years... It was awesome...👍
Yup, great song. Never get tired of it. Good job Brent and company!
My almost two year old loves this. Yep Im raising him right. KWS is amazing and dude kills the vocals
don't matter what song Smith sings , he is a GREAT singer no matter what....
I love the power and control that Mr Smith has with his voice. It enables him to cross into any genre of music and make it uniquely his own.
Wow, double wow ..my 2 most favorite bands..together.too. Now i know i have great taste in music....where have i been..Tryin to ckme out of the datkness...sad,but true.also reminds me of Glenn when we kistened to this song...Now the words fit..RIP Glenn since 5\23\10...special thnx 2 Kenny 4 autograph on my wedding photo. Xoxo 2 KWS & Shinedown
I'm always impressed with Brent Smith's vocal range!
I ❤ the sound of Brent’s voice! He could literally cuss me out and it would sound like heaven to Moi! lol

The smoothest vocals.. I've loved Brent's voice for many years 😍 this song is now one of my favorites.
that solo by Kenny really opened that song up and Brent started wailing on it. that late energy really took the song from 90 to 100.

It might get caused by the fact that it was also 5FDP that did their own lil remake of the song as well it seems. And well.....while I do have a few songs by them that are pretty nice, after I heard 5FDP remade The Offspring's song Gone Away, I shut them out. Halestorm, Disturbed, recently Bad Wolves, there's very few remakes I'll get behind. Those are the exceptions. Fuck 5FDP's rendition of Gone Away.

maybe because the original from FFDP is much better?
For the first time with any of these covers, Brent sang with soul. I have hated every single one until this. I kept saying, "Where the hell is that MAGIC?!" Finally showed some of it here. Wish the entire thing was sang with the power and feel of ending. I miss that aspect of his singing sooooooooo much.

This man has one of the greatest voices i have EVER HEARD... AND might i add not to bad on the eyes either ...
Ots amazing how any singer and instrumental artist can make a song sound so different!!!!!
Blue on black is a classic. Absolute awesome song!
I love how he is touching his waist like it calms him
Is there anything Brent can't sing? A one in a million voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to hear Shinedown do a cover of this song the same way Five Finger Death Punch does it. I feel like Brent's voice would be perfect for that style as well as the acoustic. Rock on guys \m/
Saw this on another post " truth, lies and in between.......wrong can't be undone" This is the absolute meaning of life.
Brent's voice is absolute fire...even Kenny knows it. 4:47
I'm a massive Shinedown and Ken fan and love it.
