Topic: Sonny Landreth...

From Crossroads 2007...

I'd say he's the best slide out there, but that really wouldn't be fair.....

He can't be categorized.....

Let's see if I can get EC's quote right from a few years ago.....

"Sonny Landreth is not only the most talented, but probably the most accomplished musician on the planet..."

They're at home still runnin' for bells

Re: Sonny Landreth...

Now you're talking my language. I love Sonny. His playing is unique for sure! He really moves me. He's another one of those super nice guys to top it off!  Cathy

Re: Sonny Landreth...

That was the first time I saw Sonny live and I became an instant fan. The song is called "Uberesso" and I'm not positive but I think it is going to be on his next album.
Hard for me to say anyone is "the best" because there are so many different styles, but Sonny is definitely one of the best.
And you were very close on the quote SRV. The exact quote is, "He's probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced."
