A Little Known Great Ameican Blues Guitarist
Sonny Landreth has been kicking around for years and I've seen him as a member of John Hiatt & the Goners. My first exposure to him solo was at this years "Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival" outside of Chicago. After I got home that night, I immediately went ...

Outward Bound
Sonny Landreth
Volcano, 1992
The Guy Below Me Has No Clue
I bought this CD years and years ago, and it has amazing staying power. The songs are fantastic (check out "Mister Meet Your New Landlord"), and the guitar playing is supernatural. There ARE lots of brilliant slide guitar players out there, but what sets Sonny ...

South of I-10
Sonny Landreth & Bayou Rhythm
Bmg Music, 1995
Heart, Heart, Heart
This man has Heart and Soul. I have been a musician for over 30 years and I have NEVER heard Slide Guitar like he plays. I discovered this Album from a promo CD in 1995 while working as manager of a record store. Now, I love my hard rock and I love my Beatles but when ...

Levee Town
Sonny Landreth
Sugarhill, 2000
Sonny is the best....
Levee Town is a fantastic record, back to front! 'Love and Glory' has to be one of the prettiest songs you could ever hope to hear.

From the Reach
Sonny Landreth
Grammy nomination?
I believe From the REACH will be Sonny's break through album. It should at least receive a grammy nomination for blues album of the year, if not win. Several of the songs are incredible. However, I especially love "When I Still Had You", which sounds like his lament to ...

The Road We're On
Sonny Landreth
Sugarhill, 2003
Six Stars? Maybe Eight?
The only way Sonny Landreth gets better than this is live in concert. "The Road We're On" has it all: Sonny's unique synthesis of blues, rock, zydeco and that special touch of genius that is pure Sonny. His songwriting reaches a peak that nears perfection, his blues ...

Down In Louisiana
Sonny Landreth

Sonny Landreth does the impossible..
This mans technique defies description and he must've exercised alot of patience in order to acquire it. There hasn't been a slide player like him EVER! He holds down chords whilst still playing a slided note and quite frankly what he plays with a slide most ...

Buy This CD and You'll Be Glad
If you like South of I-10 or Outward Bound, or have some of his other stuff, you'll want to know where it all came from, and this CD is a good indication. Some very, very good tracks and playing, all very interesting to hear for those starved for "new" Sonny Landreth ...

Prodigal Son: The Collection
Sonny Landreth
Music Club, 2000
Amazing beginnings of a fantastic player!!
This is recent roots music...not straight blues or country, but somewhere in between. Something akin to the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd, with a little more blues and slide thrown in. The key is that you can see Sonny's evolution as a player. This album is for ...
