...like a white biker Prince or some musically degenerative ex-boy band star. The Place You’re In, Shepherd’s fourth record, emphasizes garbage rock that sounds more like a NASCAR soundtrack than the inventive blues that enthusiasts desire. The band occasionally sounds like Collective Soul having a bad day or a meek Boston, but mostly just like guys playing repetitive chord changes with amps cranked and metronomes set on allegretto...
