Editorial Review: Album Description: Singer, songwriter and Louisiana slide guitar phenom Sonny Landreth's first studio album in five years unites his band with a who's who of musical guests for a set of all-original roots rock tinged with the blues and New Orleans soul. Featured guitarists and vocalists include Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Dr. John and Jimmy Buffett. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Not a bad track on this one!Not only is there not a BAD track on it, but I would go one step farther and say there is not a mediocre track on it. Excellent slide and vocals by Sonny and a stellar guest artist list. Actually an amazing list. The best thing about this cd is the variety in the tracks. By having such a wide variety of guest artists, the songs tend to have a little bit of flavour from each artist but it is still a Sonny Landreth work of art. Excellent from beginning to end. RHB Rating:  - The Meaning of EclecticI usually look at CDs with a lot of guest artists with some trepidation but I was pleasantly surprised. I expected great things from Mr. Landreth and in that I wasn't disappointed but the selections really suited the guest artists without the material sounding forced into their style - that speaks to the sensitivity and versatility that Sonny shows in pairing the material with the musicians. Excellent production values as well and Sonny's band is excellent. Rating: - Sonny Landreth and Friends...With all the 5 star reviews I thought this was going to be exceptional, yet.... I find I'm left feeling an exceptional guitarist has packaged a neat and slick product filled with heart and soul, but no magic and mystery... (the Mississippi vs the bayou perhaps) This CD is flawlessly produced, made up of neat and tightly knit songs (plus 2 cookin' instrumentals) from this Louisiana slide master, accompanied by a whole barge of notable guests (including guitarists Eric Clapton, Robben ...

Rating: - Real Music!Wow! If you like really good rock with a heavy blues influence this is definitely worth putting in your collection. Guest artists like Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton , and Vince Gill just add to the gumbo that this Louisiana musician serves up. Good music still lives! Browse for similar items by category:
