The band followed up with "Trouble Is…", which also reached the top of the blues charts and featured "Blue on Black," a single that spent 17 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the rock charts.
 
In total, The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band has released seven albums, including the most recent "How I Go," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard blues chart after its release in August 2011.
