After spending the ’90s bouncing from project to project, Myles Kennedy hit his stride in the 2000s. In addition to forming the roaring alt-metal outfit Alter Bridge, he started fronting Slash’s band in 2009. He can be heard on many of the icon’s biggest hits, such as “Driving Rain” and “Anastasia”. Kennedy has also released a few solo records on which his versatility shines. Dig into 2021’s The Ides of March, and you’ll hear, rather than a howler who could give Chris Cornell a run for his money, a singer/songwriter mining an introspective brand of hard rock that reflects his deep respect for the blues tradition.
