Come rest your troubles with my troubles for a time
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm seein'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Just a sigh, you tell a story
Echoing town after town you leave behind
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm feelin'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Gypsy eyes, your tears are fallin'
I hear the rain beating down a path for you outside
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm feelin'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Yeah, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
A bit like instrumental trad Irish music - there is a pattern and structure but some people see this as repetition. Me? I love the blues and trad Irish.
I LOVE the blues! I also like the "Irish Music" that drunks sing in pubs (off key) while swinging their mugs of Guiness back and forth, spilling it all over the place!! Now, I can not stand "Irish Folk Music" & any music with bagpipes! Everybody has their own tastes! I think that this is a GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
The blues are "repetitive" for a reason. There is a pattern of chords, meter, and song structure that must be followed. The blues are like sonnets or haiku which also have strict patterns. Their beauty is how the author weaves words or melodies within the pattern.
If a song doesn't fit the pattern, it may be great rock-and-roll, but it ain't the blues.

<snip > as a whole this genre is so frickin' uninspiring and repetitive...PSD for sure...

No new ground here
Just more Blues Hammer stuff a la Stevie Ray, Joe Bonamassa and the rest of the Dad Rock Dudes
I'm sure that I don't have to tell you that fatherhood is antithetical to having ability or taste in music.
Outstanding performance! Just when you think the song may be winding down he takes you down a different path that's blinding with a buzz saw of sheer emotional mastery. If you ever have the chance, it's worth every penny to see this wizard of the slide. I think I will be purchasing this record now. Thank you RP!
I AGREE!! Fantastic mix of genres!! Thanx RP!

Wrap it up and go home folks! The wise king has passed judgement. Nothing more can be said.

Excellent!
Cancel everything and go see Sonny live.
VERY, VERY excellent live!! Recommended the local venue get him, they booked him at their small club on a Tuesday.......I was 8 feet away.
This is better than Robin Trower.
I don't think I have a 7.5 yet but I might go higher
And delay and reverb.
Sure
And delay and reverb.
And it rocks!

South of I-10 would be a great place to start. His best work, imo.
Yes, that was a great one.
The blues is uninspiring and repetitive? Ok then.
I sure can't.

Saw him on the West Coast a couple of years ago; it was a "kings of the Guitar" night. for my money, he more than held his own with the likes of Colin Linden and Steve Dawson (slide). The man is the real thing. No posturing, no posing, no anguished grimaces, just pure, clean, Ok nasty guitar riffs licks and picks.
What are you smokin' dude?

What are you smokin' dude?
I think he's already topped out if he thinks this is rubbish? Well, Maybe I like rubbish, like down in Congo Square with the amazing Sonny Landreth.
What are you smokin' dude?
Seen you twice but not recently.
How about summer shows in the corn belt?
Does that mean you'd give both nuts to play as good as Sonny?
I'd happily swap mine for this talent.
Haven't heard him in 20 years but from what I remember, Tab Benoit's a lot more diverse. This song is a yawner for me.
A good time to hang out in South Louisiana,
That hillside? Earthworks for the Old State Capitol, a building Mark Twain called the ugliest on the Mississippi. No hills in Baton Rouge. Also, Sonny Landreth is good, but fellow Lafayette-area thrasher Tab Benoit will blow your head off.
Take a step outside your mind...
...Then in 2010 went to the Baton Rouge Blues Fest, a small neighborly venue with maybe 100 people sitting on a hillside in the sun...

That is all.
I've never been able to bring myself to grant a song a 1, especially here on RP. Just the effort it takes for an artist to present an interpretation of an idea, song, or melody, that alone should give them a "Ho Hum". But lo, I am the proud owner of a Shaggs album....

Oh wait, I take that back. I think I gave the Queen song a 1. Heavens....
Sonny Landreth is the best dang slide guitarist ever! I've been a fan since 90s and made the highest bid in a charity auction to get a gorgeous sunburst, bird's eye maple, electric-acoustic guitar he'd signed (Cities '97, 1995 MN State Fair). Then in 2010 went to the Baton Rouge Blues Fest, a small neighborly venue with maybe 100 people sitting on a hillside in the sun, where I watched him play this song from 10' away - just amazing. I then bought his latest CD, he signed it as I told him about the guitar I'd picked up 14 years previous, he then reached out to shake my hand. He's a genuine genius guitarist, for sure!!! https://www.sonnylandreth.com/
This will raise some hackles, but, Hendrix was never this good.
Old: LOL! If Hendrix had lived then.....maybe. It do boggle the mind what he might have accomplished if he hadn't flamed out. But we'll never know, eh? (I do not agree that it's better to burn out than fade away).

If Jimi had played slide, it might have sounded like this......
16 #1 votes.... what the hell does a musician have to do to please these people ?
Landreth is well respected in the industry, exudes talent, and kicks ass playing the blues.
I don't see why the detractors even listen to music. One doesn't have to like the genre
to appreciate it. Hey, I may not like Hank Williams or Johnny Cash, but I sure as hell wouldn't
be giving them a 1. Perhaps a couple quarters of Art Appreciation or a couple of years of
guitar lessons would/could extract some of their respect for a guy as gifted a Landerth..
I knew folks back in the day who said the Beatles weren't talented and would be no more than a passing fancy,
... and they too were flat ass WRONG !
Preaching to the choir, That_SOB. Try to think of it like this: If we didn't have those "one" votes, we'd really have no way to gauge whether the rating system even worked. Personally, I welcome the "1" votes, especially if someone who voted that way posted a comment to accompany it. I check their profiles to see what they think merits a 10. It's actually quite fun, and yet another way to be interactive with the other RPeeps.
Then again, sometimes I'll give a song a "1" because I'm just having a really crappy day.

Yes, very nice indeed!
SECONDED!!!
I really wish Radio P would add Joe Bonamassa to their playlist!!!
RP has done - I've heard two Joe Bonamassa tracks recently on RP, and they're both the rockin' dog's bollox. Not that Sonny Landreth is any slouch as a blues rock guitarist, and the more I hear from him on RP the more likely it is I'll be reaching for the plastic to add yet another CD to my burgeoning collection. 8 from the Nottingham jury.
