| Audio CD Description Just as Muhammad Ali once boasted that he could "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," Louisiana's Sonny Landreth can make his slide guitar roar like a rocket ship and dance like a ballerina. As this live set recorded on his home turf attests, few guitarists combine such power with such precision. Landreth's veteran rhythm section of bassist David Ranson and drummer Kenneth Blevins provides whipcrack support on a set of supercharged instrumentals ("Native Stepson," "Z. Rider," "Pedal to Metal") and original blues ("Broken-Hearted Road," "Wind in Denver"), building to a climax with the guitarist's signature tune, "Congo Square." Though Landreth established himself as an ace sideman from his apprenticeship with zydeco kingpin Clifton Chenier through his extended stint with John Hiatt, he really cuts loose with his own trio, generating a dynamic propulsion that threatens to levitate this Lafayette dancehall. |

Maybe 3 1/2 Not a bad CD. Sonny has played in the DC area and I keep missing the show because of work. I wish I did not have to pay bills, keep a roof over my head and... I preferred the instrumentals on this CD. His voice is not bad. Yet it almost has a country flair, which is simply not my cup of tea. Also I feel that the guitar work is a notch or two higher on the instrumentals. The music reminds me of Joe Bonamassa. The Guitar itself does vary from Joe's. Not being a guitarist, or one that knows enough about the instrument, I am unable to state the specific differences. Worth getting if you like those that sit on the fence between Rock and Blues.
A really great CD I at first did not play this album much. I play it all the time now. It is a really great album. It is so good, that I have taken the time to write this review.
Pretty good This is the first time I bought a Sonny Landreth CD. After a bit, the music sounds a little repetitive. But shuffled in with some other great blues CDs and I like it just fine. |
