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 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...
