ケニー・ニール
- BORN: October 14, 1957, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
1957年10月14日、ルイジアナ州バトン・ルージュ生まれ - vocals guitar harmonica
ブルース界の未来を担うミュージシャンの一人として期待されているマルチ・プレイヤーで二世ブルースマンのケニー・ニールは、伝統的なルイジアナ・ブルースを意識しながらも、フレッシュな感覚を持ったサウンドを作り、発表し続けている。父親はバトン・ルージュの名ハーピスト、レイフル・ニールで、ケニーは3歳の時に父親の友人のスリム・ハーポからハープをプレゼントされたのだった。13歳で父親のバンドのベーシストしてデビュー。17歳になると父親の友人でもあるバディ・ガイのバンドに加入し、ベースを弾いた。フロリダに拠点を置くプロデューサーのボブ・グリーンリーに才能を認められ、1987年に彼のキング・スネイク・レコードでデビュー・アルバム『Bio On The Bayou』を出した。このアルバムがアリゲーター・レコードの目にとまり、88年『Big News from Baton Rouge』のタイトルで、アリゲーターから再発された。ニールは熱を発するギター、腰の座ったハーモニカ、説得力のある歌声を聴かせるブルースマンだ。
