Free Music Review: Sonny Landreth - More Great Slide Guitar
Hit: 4 Stars
Landreth takes another 3 year break between albums finally releasing "Road" in 2003. This is another solid release from Landreth featuring plenty of smoking slide guitar and Cajun blues. The album frequently steps into more straight ahead rock territory as well which is yet another style that Landreth seems completely comfortable with. Personally I don't think this album is quite as good as either "Outward Bound" or "South Of I-10", but it is an improvement over the mixed results of his last disc "Levee Town". Highlights on this one include "True Blue" that almost sounds like Foghat to my ears. "Gone Pecan" is a cool little rave up with an irresistible chorus and lightning fast guitar. "Natural World" is Sonny's message song about the changing nature of the environment around us. "Gemini Blues", features more great guitar work from Sonny. Overall this is another album that should please the Landreth faithful and fans of slide guitar Cajun blues in general.
The Road We're On Poster
Sonny Landreth's 10-year career as a leader has always seemed tenuous, because he's a one-dimensional singer and only an adequate songwriter. But these 12 numbers run deeper than his previous recordings. Like much of his catalog, they straddle the worlds of blues, Cajun and zydeco, and New Orleans party music, but the blues dominates. And that gives the conflagrant Mississippi-born and Louisiana-raised slide guitarist plenty of fuel. So he burns liberally at every turn, from the acoustic resonator guitar that opens and closes the disc to the percolating funk of "Hell at Home" and the Allmans-like, riff-driven intensity of "Fallin' for You." "A World Away" is this album's tour de force, with Landreth summoning soul from the seldom-used soft side of his voice and slow, moaning guitar lines, whose steel-on-steel cries echo the resigned heartbreak of the lyrics. The CD's sterling production puts Landreth's guitar front and center, which reaffirms the former John Hiatt and Clifton Chenier sideman's instrumental mastery. --Ted DrozdowskiBlues Music CDs
