Suggested Artists and Sonny Landreth
by artmaven on June 22, 2008This site keeps track of your favorite artists as well as the lyrics and comments you've posted. It doesn't keep track of the artists who you suggest be added to the site. I'll be damned if I can remember who I've suggested in the past. Mind like a steel trap, I know. My plan is to keep track here so that I can go back and add the lyrics.
Today I suggested Sonny Landreth while listening to him on "Mountain Stage." I can't believe zeke's pal isn't on here already. Sonny is a "Louisiana-based slide guitar wizard."
To check out Sonny's new album “From the Reach,” as well as the rest of his catalog, go here >>> www.sonnylandreth.com ...tho, this may be easier >>> www.sonnylandreth.com/sonnyframes.html
I hope SongMeanings lets me post those URLs. If not, just try SonnyLandreth.com
You can dl song excerpts in MP3 format, read news, his bio, check tour dates and more.
For this, his 9th album, Sonny decided he wanted to work w/a buncha friends. Most are guitar greats tho, he didn't limit it to just guitar. Sonny wrote the songs specifically for his guests and himself to record together.
Guest artists on the album include: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Dr. John, Jimmy Buffett and Nadirah Shakoor.
It's a real good album. Today, my fave song is "Blue Tarp Blues." Lyrically, think Hurricane Katrina, NOLA, Bush. Musically, Landreth's slide and Knopfler's Strat are a helluva combo. Enjoy!
