\nEric Clapton \;calls Sonny Landreth "\;the most underestimated musician on the planet and also one of the most advanced.&rdquo\;
\n
\nSonny Landreth\, \;The King of Slydeco \;returns with a brand new album\, &ldquo\;Blacktop Run.&rdquo\; And\, once again\, working within the surprisingly broad genre of Louisana blues\, he cranks out beautiful\, stunning music that never fails to pull you into his world. Landreth&rsquo\;s groundbreaking work has long mixed familiarity with experimentation\, and this latest 10-song collection stretches from hard-edged electric instrumentals to wistful acoustic ballads. After \;two Grammy nominations\, multiple appearances at \;Clapton&rsquo\;s Crossroads Guitar Festival \;and wide-ranging acclaim from fellow players and fans worldwide\, Landreth is looking forward to playing the new material live.
\n
\n&ldquo\;The genius of Landreth&rsquo\;s playing is his lyricism. His playing is clean and pretty\, with a tone like a violin. &hellip\;he dazzles with slide lines that have the natural beauty of a bird gliding along a gust of wind.&rdquo\; - Blues Rock Review
\n
\nSonny cut his musical teeth in \;The Red Hot Louisiana Band \;of zydeco king \;Clifton Chenier\, \;and has since recorded and toured with artists like \;John Mayal\, John Hiatt\, Derek Trucks\, Junior Wells\, John Mayall\, Irma Thomas\, Clarence Gatemouth Brown\, Kenny Loggins\, Mark Knopfler\, Eric Johnson\, Robben Ford\, Vince Gill\, Bonnie Raitt\, Eric Clapton \;and hundreds of other world-class artists. This Louisiana based Blues guitar wizard'\;s slide playing is distinctive and unlike anything else you'\;ve ever heard\, where he simultaneously plays slide and fingers the fret board producing a sound that is often said to resemble many instruments playing at once. At the peak of a song he can lift you right up off your chair. His music encompasses Mississippi Delta blues\, zydeco and Southern rock.
