Any Sonny Landreth Fans Here?

[dlodoski]

I discovered this guy on XM Radio and just re-discovered him on Pandora (it's been a busy couple of years).

If you like fat guitar sounds, or if you like slide guitar, check him out. If you like both, like I do, you really need to check him out.

So, any fans here? I'm going to dip into his albums and wonder if anyone can tell me where to start.

Yeah, I've been a Sonny fan for years, one of the best slide players around. Got interested when I heard him playing on John Hiatt's album "Slow Turning". The first album I bought was "Outward Bound" and this remains one of my favourites, I reckon this would be a good place to start.

If you haven't found this clip on Youtube yet, it's well worth a look, it gives a good view of his technique

If you're really into slide guitar, this is worth checking out as well, Bonnie Raitt and Roy Rogers (not that Roy Rogers) together
