Musicbrainz DBCome rest your troubles with my troubles for a time
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm seein'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Just a sigh, you tell a story
Echoing town after town you leave behind
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm feelin'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Gypsy eyes, your tears are fallin'
I hear the rain beating down a path for you outside
I know, I know the feelin' that I'm feelin'
When you lay your body next to mine
Well, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road
Yeah, the quest for love is lonesome
For the pilgrim on broken hearted road

I've never been able to bring myself to grant a song a 1, especially here on RP. Just the effort it takes for an artist to present an interpretation of an idea, song, or melody, that alone should give them a "Ho Hum". But lo, I am the proud owner of a Shaggs album.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxPsXPCR5MU Oh wait, I take that back. I think I gave the Queen song a 1. Heavens.... |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Feb 05, 2013 - 21:38 Saw Sonny last week, guitarist sans pareille, not overly mannered but pushing the techniques to the limit. We were also 10 feet away from his fingers - amazing indeed. |
| MTachyon (Event Horizon) | Posted: Jan 05, 2013 - 16:50 Sonny Landreth is the best dang slide guitarist ever! I've been a fan since 90s and made the highest bid in a charity auction to get a gorgeous sunburst, bird's eye maple, electric-acoustic guitar he'd signed (Cities '97, 1995 MN State Fair). Then in 2010 went to the Baton Rouge Blues Fest, a small neighborly venue with maybe 100 people sitting on a hillside in the sun, where I watched him play this song from 10' away - just amazing. I then bought his latest CD, he signed it as I told him about the guitar I'd picked up 14 years previous, he then reached out to shake my hand. He's a genuine genius guitarist, for sure!!! http://www.sonnylandreth.com/ |

| mrdak (Middle GA) | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 07:00 I'm going with a 9 for the bass player, the song, and Sonny's wonderfully original slide guitar style. YES! |

Try to think of it like this: If we didn't have those "one" votes, we'd really have no way to gauge whether the rating system even worked. Personally, I welcome the "1" votes, especially if someone who voted that way posted a comment to accompany it. I check their profiles to see what they think merits a 10. It's actually quite fun, and yet another way to be interactive with the other RPeeps. Then again, sometimes I'll give a song a "1" because I'm just having a really crappy day. |

RP has done - I've heard two Joe Bonamassa tracks recently on RP, and they're both the rockin' dog's bollox. Not that Sonny Landreth is any slouch as a blues rock guitarist, and the more I hear from him on RP the more likely it is I'll be reaching for the plastic to add yet another CD to my burgeoning collection. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |

Yes, and that would be the DVD "A Night In London". And for example the song "Blue Tarp Blues" from Sonny's latest album (From The Reach) features Mark Knopfler. Sonny also, i believe, used to be the guitarist for John Hiatt's band. John Hiatt also occasionally plays along on Sonny's records... |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Aug 05, 2010 - 00:00 Sonny is really sick on guitar! Picking with all five fingers!! Now THAT's amazing! 9 |
| SirLars (London, ON) | Posted: Jun 02, 2010 - 07:04 only wish I could turn this louder, but I'm already getting "looks" from the people in the next office... probably because I'm doing the air-guitar and spinning in my chair. AWESOME! 9! |

| Jim_Messenger (United Kingdom - Near Nottingham) | Posted: Jun 20, 2009 - 03:32 Same age as me and I am ashamed to say I'd never heard of Sonny Landreth. Yet again thanks Bill for introducing me to this mans music. Gets an 8 from me. Time to send another donation methinks. |
| Dior (Sherbrooke, Quebec) | Posted: Jun 20, 2009 - 03:27 Weird : I thought from the first bar It was a version of "In the Cage" or a band covering Genesis. How far was I off the mark! |
| belalugosi (Bogotá (Colombia)) | Posted: May 19, 2009 - 09:32 I knew this artist a few days ago... in RP off course... more music, more eclectic, other dimension! thanks. |
| cc_rider (Austin Texas. Y'all.) | Posted: May 19, 2009 - 09:28 This is not what I've come to expect from Sonny Landreth ('South of I-10', 'Blue Tarp Blues', et al). But I'm diggin' it. It's got that swampy feeling about it. |

Eric asks the same question. He also says, ''Sonny Landreth is one of the most talented--and underappreciated--guitarists in the world.'' And Slowhand knows a bit about guitar playing. |
