The whole album is excellent, this is one of the best tracks.

10, cuz there's no 11. On the rating. On the volume knob, however...

Tone for miles and this guys technique is GOD like... Nearly impossible to copy this.


One of the things that Sonny Landreth is known for is "fretting behind the slide".  Most slide players place the slide on their ring finger or picky and primarily use it to play melodies.  Landreth will use his pinky for slide, but use his other three fingers to fret chords or harmonies.  It's infinitely hard to play slide this way and very few sound as fluid as this.

There's a reason why Clapton called him the greatest guitarist on the planet. I don't know about that, but he sure as sunshine of our love isn't any slacker either.

The last half of this track (I missed the first half) is just about enough to get me to buy the whole album. Very nice.

True, but it's far grittier! NICE!
Posted 13 years ago by audiophelia    [ Reply ]
Very reminiscent of Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover"—perhaps an "Oh, yeah?" response? It's been known to happen. Man, can this guy play. And I agree about seeing him live—awesome show.

Based on live performances, I think the producer may be responsible - think pre-Don Was Bonnie Raitt recordings.

Sounds like Joe Satriani having his own little River Dance.

it's not everybody's cup of tea, but you've got to see this guy play to appreciate it. it's like he's got three hands sometimes.

Posted 15 years ago by joanot    [ Reply ]
Seems almost silly to say it because it's so obvious, but Sonny Landreth can flat flail.

It's his vocals that keep him from being a major star ... but, as they prove on Americanm Idol every week, there are plenty of "singers" in the world.

Only a select few can sling like this guy.
