One of the greatest guitarists today. On his latest album the Louisiana-based slide guitar wizard does something unprecedented in his body of work, as he collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet — Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill — for some jaw-dropping performances. Also making a house call is legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and iconic Gulf Coast troubadour Jimmy Buffett. amazing.

  1. Can’t wait to see him tomorrow night at the W.C. Handy Blues Fest in Henderson,KY!!!!!

  2. It reminds me of a mix between Eric Johnson and Jeff Beck lol

  3. I have had the honor of talking with and hanging out with this genius. He is truly a great musician, and all around nice person.
    Mèsi Keep the Zydecosmobile rolling!!

  4. Another great performance by a hell of a guitarist, I never get tired of listening to Sonny Landreth perform … btw, if you like Sonny Landreth, you might also like Bushmaster featuring Gary Brown. Check out their song "Sidewalk Strut" on my youtube channel. Your friend in music, Unoyaga

  5. I have had the great pleasure of hearing Sonny live twice, once in Seattle and once in Portland Oregon…he was beyond amazing both times…what an exciting talent!

  6. This guy is great. I mean GREAT. I was transfixed for the entire video. What an innovator. WOW.

  7. That anyone, regardless of whether they "like" the tune or not, would go so far as to attach a dislike to this man, talent, sweat, soul and all, just proves the critical need for legalization of euthanasia.

  8. Slide lovers should check out Dave Hole from Perth Australia .

  9. I was actually at this show and I’ve seen Sonny play 6 or 7 times. His playing is mesmerizing!!!

  10. He’s a great singer too.
    I like "hell at home"+ "outward bound"
    they’re awsome songs.

  11. Check out his famous behind the slide fingerings .

  12. Great music! I also love his Uberesso. The video from Crossroads is impressive. Watching it kind of chokes me up. BTW,
    what is the name of the album you mentioned in your comment ?

  13. His right hand wizardry is pure grace to watch… I saw him live outdoors, right in front of the stage (and dancing!), three times, at the Montreal Jazz Fest - and all for free! LUCKY ME!!!

  14. That is a perfect recording of the most talented performer alive. Thank you!

  15. Why haven’t I heard of this guy before? His guitar playing is amazing

  16. This video makes me even more bummed that he cancelled his current tour date in Detroit.
