Click on photo for killer Sonny Landreth youtube video!!!Chicago Tribune writer Kevin Williams posted a rousing article about Sonny Landreth in anticipation of Sonny's upcoming Aug. 6th gig at the Evanston SPACE (helluva place too-- David Lindley plays there tonight!).
Williams really puts on his guitar geek in the article too, which is always a treat to see in a mainstream media piece.
"...Landreth has technique that is staggering. As slide guitar players go, he is nonpareil, having ginned up a technique that lets him fret notes and chords while he's playing slide. But it's all in the service of the music..."
And that's just a taste, as the writer musters up for a slam on Steve Vai. But all in good fun... although some Windy City Vai fans are probably keying this guy's Prius as I write.
In looking for a good Landreth photo, I also discovered the photography & paintings of Artist Bob Bunce at www.bobbunce.com
Be sure to visit www.sonnylandreth.com and check the tour schedule link, cuz he just might be coming to your area! I missed Sonny's July 2nd Portland gig, and I'm still feelin' mighty LAME.
