Sliding With Sonny Landreth

I go through phases with music. I say this about a lot of instruments ..... There's nothing like the emotion behind a cello! There's nothing like the sound of a resonator guitar!! Nothing like a dobro!!!

But there really is nothing quite like the sound of a slide guitar and the genius of Sonny Landreth!!

First noticed him in the late 1980's on Saturday Night Live playing guitar for John Hiatt. He was'nt someone to just blend anonymously into the background of a band behind a great musician. He had a presence and made an impression.
