ROAD WE'RE ON

ROAD WE'RE ON

While Sonny Landreth's style has always straddled blues, Cajun and zydeco, and New Orleans party music, the blues dominates on these twelve tracks that run deeper than any of his previous recordings as leader. Widely recognized as the greatest slide guitarist of his time, Sonny presses, pushes, pulls and slaps guitar strings in ways that no one else has ever figured out. Hoisting the electric guitar out of Louisiana swamps, this 2005 release shows a musical original at the peak of his power. After many years as sideman to John Hiatt, Clifton Chenier, and others, it was long past time for Sonny to step into the spotlight. The sterling production on 'The Road We're On' puts Landreth's guitar front and center reaffirms that he is a legend in his own time.<br>Features the radio hit 'Hell At Home', which Sonny performs at every show.
