Kenny is a living legend. Man what a picker. His bandmate Chris Scruggs is an animal too. Awesome interview.

[rickstrandberg]

Hearing cousin Kenny play makes us happy, and we love that it makes Kenny happy too!

[donnawilliams]

I first saw Kenny because I love Marty Stuart's music. But after watching that group for a while, Kenny has become one of my all-time favorite musicians. I watch all of his interviews and I'm fascinated by the stories he tells.

[blucheer]

Kenny just combines it all! He is the definition of the “Americana sound” awesome guitar!

[prpapas]

Never get tired of hearing Kenny talk music. Great player, encyclopedic knowledge. Respect.

[rickstrandberg]

Chris Scruggs is the Einstein of country music!❤

[mairianncullen]

I am always so impressed by Kenny Vaughan's openess to learning from others and to the constant improvement of his already awesome guitar skills.

These interviews with Mr. Vaughan are great.

I've had the pleasure to see KV live with MS at least a half a dozen times, spent time with him after a show and he was kind enough to autograph my 63 Tele. I can't say enough good stuff about the man, his talent, and the mark he is choosing to leave on our planet. God Bless KV and thanks for the great interview.

[danielerickson]

I am so looking forward to seeing Kenny play with Marty tomorrow night! Ready to have my face melted😀

[michaelsteding]

Love Kenny. He's a joy to watch and listen too.

This is the 3rd episode in a row that’s been recommended to me. First Dam Baird brought me here. What an incredible talk that was! Otis Gibbs put me on to the genius of Dan Baird and Kenny Vaughn. I’m just starting down this rabbit hole. I can’t wait to find more. He’s a monster in that tele. Great podcast and great questions. Very cool work you’re doing here.

I remember running away from home when I was 6 to go the record store with my older sister to get a record I couldn’t life without. When I got home I got the strap for getting my sister in trouble. but it was worth it. still love music to this day. So nice to hear the harmonies etc guitar picking it enspires me even to this day. Love this stuff more exciting to me than being fancy. I play guitar now wish I could play with these guys just once.

[matthewwillis]

Cousin Kenny is one of my favorite hero's. Class act for sure.

[DB-rreo]

Tommy Bolin was from Sioux City, Iowa. I grew up with his family.

1ST TIME I HEARD & SAW KENNY VAUGHAN PLAY, , I HAVE TO SAY, , I REMEMBER TELLING (asking out loud, "where did they ever find this guy at!!??)" I was awestruck every TIME he broke into a lead breaK, , KV. A NATIONAL TREASURE!!! A true master of the telecaster, & many

[billyshane]

Love your content. Tommy Bolin is my favourite guitar slinger and to hear Kenny talk of him is magic. Thanks for posting.

[davidplemmons]

I saw Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives at the Romp festival in Owensboro KY, and they were truly fabulous

[danielcombs]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I saw Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives earlier this year (2023). They played the best show I’ve seen and heard in a long long time. I’m hoping I get to see them again before tickets get much higher. I paid $44.95 and I think it was a bargain .This band is just fantastic.

[beachidiot]

This is a fantastic interview. Thanks a bunch conducting and posting this. Kenny's CD is great and all Marty's cds and albums are good. The last CD " Way Out West" is a MASTERPIECE.
