Sonny Landreth
Recorded Live In Lafayette
Provogue Slide king in two-pronged live attack For years, fans of the virtuoso slide guitarist have been asking for an album that features his acoustic band, heard previously in concert but not on record. But Sonny also wanted to feature his renowned electric band in the setting that suits them best – the live stage. His solution? A double live-album that serves both his personalities. As such, Live In Lafayette is a rollercoaster ride of superb musicianship, with the added thrill of hearing Landreth’s unique slide guitar technique in two different contexts. The personification of a highly underrated player, this might well garner Sonny some long-deserved international attention.
