Had to bring this up, because my neighbors heard it and came over to tell me they LOVE Sonny Landreth. They also gave me a schedule of their work-hours, so I'd know when to blast good music while they were actually awake for it (well, this is a mining town, so no one works "normal" hours.) |

Wow, surprised at so many unflattering comments.
Love Sonny Landreth and after seeing him open for the Neville Brothers a few years ago, Iv'e got to say that he seems like a very cool, likeable guy.
And anybody who reminds me of Little Feat is fine by me.

A sincere request Bill, please play "The Goin' On" or "Let It Fly" from this album... Way better IMO and much more representative of Sonny's real talent...

I love it, anyway. I don't base my opinions on one particular song. Sonny Landreth has an incredible library of music, and this was just one more cut I hadn't heard before. My admiration of his talent just jumped up a notch. (Holy cow - according to my "awesome-meter," Sonny Landreth is about one step away from Godlike.) I need drugs. |

It would be fun to hear him with Rodney Crowell. They have kind of a similar sound.

The man's name is Powers Boothe. It rhymes with Howlin' Moon. That would be my guess.
LOL Sonny's got talent. This is just some song that could be used as background music in a movie. Hey those guitars cost money. Even Robert Redford did crappy movies to finance a great one. Where that came from I have no idea... |
