Sonny Landreth this Friday 9/19 @ Grant Street

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

On my way back to Mississippi tomorrow I will exit off in Lafayette for a few hours of slide guitar. Thinking about Tips Saturday night for some more Sonny.

I saw Sonny at Jazzfest in 05 on the first day.. an absolutely amazing player. (I think C.C. Adcock was on either just before or just after Sonny).

Can you suggest a CD of Sonny's that stands out for you? I would have to order in as he is not stocked here in New Zealand.

cheers

Great you can see him in that setting. I'm envious. Please post a review.

South of I-10 is a personal favorite of mine.

We were not able to make the show last night. We are still in Hattiesburg. Hey, I hope our paths cross during Voodoo.

Hey frangooch, I'm not sure either one of us or any other Sonny fan could post an unbias review. <huge smile> Somehow I know you will understand.

Hi frangooch.. all I remember was it was on the 1st day of the 1st week and Sonny was on stage... the Sprint stage from memory. I had never heard of him b4 this. I asked someone standing next to me about him and she said 'he is the BEST slide player!'

He took the stage and delivered a blistering show. What a hot player!

Sounds like someone I know......... :)

whoa... I thought this show was the shared bill with Roddie Romero. Check this video out from the show with Roddie & Eric joining Sonny's band:

Roddie didn't even PLAY the guitar during his Northern California gigs - guess it wasn't "zydeco" enough - but I knew he was a great slide player from the Acura set at this year's Jazzfest.

Last year at Festivals Acadians, I heard Roddie on the guitar and it magically pulled me right over in front of the stage. :)

He played some guitar at Crawfish Fest this year, if I remember correctly.
