It's on his new album, From the Reach.....saw him do it at the Rex in Pittsburgh in March from about 5 feet away.  Watchin' his hands made me dizzy.....

Found this little item of interest.....love the name of his new record label:

From Sonny's Newest CD: From The Reach OUT NOW!-20th May 2008
Louisiana-based singer/songwriter/slide-guitar monster Sonny Landreth released his ninth album, titled From The Reach and his first on his own Landfall Records label (distributed by Ryko Distribution), On it, Landreth does something unprecedented in his body of work as he collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet -- Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson ,Vince Gill -- in some jaw-dropping performances & Nadirah Shakoor. Also making appearances are the legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and Margaritaville's iconic troubadour Jimmy Buffett.
On the opener, "Blue Tarp Blues,' Sonny exchanges solos with Knopfler, and the aural contrast between Sonny's shimmering slide and the Dire Straits leader's biting Strat is a textural treat. source:allaboutjazz
