Kenny Neal 5-16-08
W.C. Handy Award-winner Kenny Neal’s (Best Album 2005) zest for the blues and other indigenous music forms began when the eloquent singer / multi - instrumentalist and dramatic actor was a three-year-old toddler. While growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the late 60’s, precocious Kenny received his first musical instrument, a harp, as a gift from family friend and legendary musician and composer Slim Harpo. Not only is Kenny a devout disciple and aficionado of Harpo, but he’s also a fan of his own father, Raful Neal, an accomplished harpist who sported a successful career of his own and proved to be an archetype for his child prodigy. Thus, it is only fitting that Kenny’s latest project would be titled Kenny Neal: A Tribute To Slim Harpo, on True Life Entertainment.
