Guitar Wiz Sonny Landreth Teams with Fellow Greats for 9th Album:
From The Reach, his first on his own Landfall Records label (distributed by Ryko Distribution), May 20. 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 and Vince Gill ?- in some jaw-dropping performances. Also making appearances are the legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and Margaritaville's iconic troubadour Jimmy Buffett.
I've heard a number of the cuts live (Sonny, Dave, and Mike sans guests) over the past two nights and they are truly fantastic! I tend to watch the crowd during Sonny's shows. First-timers are a joy to watch and the sellout performances this weekend gave me plenty of opportunities to watch jaws hit chests.
