In 1995, Shepherd released his first album “Ledbetter Heights” that became an immediate success and even reached Platinum sales status. His hits “Born with a Broken Heart” and “Deja Voodoo” were well-received by his fans, and became chart-toppers in the United States.

In Chicago” that ultimately cemented Shepherd as one of the best blues musician in his generation. The sales of his albums also helped raise his net worth, not to mention the constant touring around the globe to promote them.
