Most excellent Mr. Landreth. I lost most of My organized music. YouTube has a good search engine. I couldn't remember your last name. My friend Barbara recommended I see you in Berwyn Illinois, {Fitzgerald's 6615 W. Roosevelt Rd} some years back. It was then, I became addicted too your style/playing

Started to go see Sonny in the early 90's and have seen him so many times I've lost count. EVERY show is phenomenal and you just can't believe what the guy can do. But perhaps the BEST thing is that after every show he hangs out to sign autographs and talk to fans. He is truly one of the nicest and most humble people you'll ever meet. A treasure.

That makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and made me post my first ever comment on YouTube
Absolutely bloody awesome.

27 people got their head knocked as a child. Damn Sonny is one of the greats, one of the best slide guitairst, if not the best.

[colintapp]

Sonny is like Albert Lee, everyones favourite but not really commercially sucessful.Both have given so much pleasure.

[groverbaker]

Sonny!! What a killer!! Clapton loves him

[mikieknight]

That fretting behind the slide thing is about the coolest thing ever

[太郎-of]

Without a doubt, the world's greatest slide guitarist!

[fueradeljuego]

All I can say to this mind-blowing performance is wow

[p-is]

One of the best slide-guitarists ever, imo.

[bluecajun]

Pulling my jaw up from the floor. Unbelievable playing.

I've seen Sonny many times, always puts on a great show. Saw him in the early 90's at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and he was one of 5 or 6 guitarists who where doing an afternoon workshop, each guy would play a song and then hang out behind the stage while the next guitarist did his It was Sonny's turn and ALL the guitarist game out to see who the hell was making the guitar sing the way only Sonny can... That's a memory I won't soon forget!

Sonny is the modern slide master. You can hear the bayou in his playing, the history, and his unique modern spin on the craft. A guitar player's guitar player. Dig me some Sonny

[GospelBluesMan]

The behind the slide fretting is amazing. Not an easy technique to learn and he does it like a Master that he is.

[rolanddepoorter]

Who needs anything else the a guitar played this majestic way.

[onyxinjun]

Must have listened to this a thousand times, and am amazed every time...that a human is even capable of this.

[posteraddict]

I sat down with Sonny and it was...thoroughly comfortable. As a musician, he inspires wonder and inspiration. Couldn't be a nicer human being. I told him I spent the COVID lockdown decoding "Native Stepson". He seemed genuinely pleased. A nice moment. The tune is a show stopper every time. Thanks, Mr. Landreth. (I'm going to start on this tune...hopefully soon!)

A buddy of mine turned me on to Sonny's music years ago. I appreciated slide players before then, but it wasn't exactly my favorite style. Sonny changed all that. :)

[lindadote]

Sonny is magical, always a pleasure to listen to this man. Thanks for sharing.

Like fine wine, Sonny gets better with age.
