What do you think about Sonny's new album? I don't understand much about guitar playing but this album sounds fantastic to me...

I haven't heard it, but saw him open for someone a long time ago, and he was very impressive live! Tons of slide guitar...

Great album indeed...very nice slide guitar

Listen also to the album "Road we're on"...another great work from Sonny...

Great musician, creative, intense playing. Always with a fine rhythm section, notably Dave Ranson, longtime bassist with Landreth.

check out the 'Live From Grant Street' disc, from 3 years ago I think...I saw him there, its a great little club in Lafayette LA

great bayou (somehow!) sounding slide playing. very reserved stage presence also, like Mick Taylor..

Mr Landreth is a great player for sure. The first time I've heard him has been on record in John Hiatt's band. Recommended tracks: "Tennessee Plates", "Everybody Went Low", "Almost Fed Up With the Blues".
Off the top of my head, I remember his playing on the Dr. John song "Georgianna", and his guitar stylings also grace the most of the songs from an album of Cajun/Louisiana vocalist Marce Lacouture entitled "La Joie Cadienne", from which I'd especially recommend the track "Soleil Apres Se Coucher".
And I think his own tune "Creole Angel" should have made it onto many a radio station's playlist, because it has Single written all over it.
I have to admit that I'm not too familiar with his other solo work besides the "South of I-10" album yet, though.

"Grant street" is very good, yes. I just ordered "The Road We're On". Looking forward to listen to it...

Great article on Sonny Landreth today in the New Orleans newspaper.
