​Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne (from the Go, Just Do It! available on Stony Plains Records)
 
For album number eleven, Canadian Bluesman Kenny ‘Blues Boss” Wayne sticks to the formula that has worked for him over previous releases and his career overall. The 75-year old piano player holds tight to the music he has curated, cultivated, and carried around the world, claiming that ‘I’m not looking for a different path. I love that jump blues and boogie-woogie. That’s where my heart is at. I’m just trying to keep that style alive. That’s classic stuff, and I’m at that classic age so it all works out’. Hushing the song title with smooth groove Blues, Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne lets the band have its say with the instrumental “Bumpin’ Down the Highway” as he lets the beat out to play for “Sittin’ in My Rockin’ Chair” and puts boogie to the Tulsa groove with a version of J.J. Cale’s “They Call Me the Breeze”. 
 
Hitting the ground rolling with funky chord chops, Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne opens the album, namechecking the title with “Just Do It”, joined on the cut by Dawn Tyler Watson. Leading the guest list on Go, Just Do It! with two tracks, Dawn Tyler Watson comes back on the late-night rumble of “Sorry Ain’t Good Enough” alongside Julie Masi on the tag team boogie of “You Did a Number on Me”. Matching the vocals of Diane Schur with a Blue mood, Kenny slows the pace for a call and response duet on “You’re in for a Big Surprise” while he pounds out policy with SeQual on “I Don’t Want to Be President”. A soulful sway courses underneath “Lost & Found” while Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne exits Go, Just Do It! on the boogie beat that brought him to the party with “Let the Rock, Roll”.
