I've been lucky enough to have seen Sonny Landreth live six or seven times now in remarkably different settings. I saw him play lead for John Hiatt, I've seen him open for Buddy Guy at the Fillmore, I've seen him at Blues Festivals and fortunately, I've seen him several times with this, his regular band.Sonny doesn't write great great tunes, they're alright, but the thrill is in hearing his mastery of slide guitar and his tremendous sense of dynamics. Nobody understands the power and technique of slide the way he does, and no one can rip it up and then bring it way down to such effect, either.This is a great live set and while it doesn't totally replicate his live show, it gives a good taste of what he's up to and just how damn good he is.
