Sonny Landreth’s new album ‘Bound By The Blues’ will be released on June 8th 2015.
The recording marks a return to the roots-music of this famous slide-guitarist known as the King of Slydeco — presenting a big, bold collection of tracks that swagger like the best of classic rock.
We listened to the new song ‘Bound by the Blues’:
This has some sharp edges to begin with — with blunt chords axed out — crisp (but without feeling dried out.)
Then comes the ornate orange-peel finger-twisting steel guitar dance… This spirals and twists with deadly accuracy.
The voice is smoldering smoky, warm and aromatic and reaches a traditional chorus with grace, dignity and style.
At around 1:20 the guitar makes its mark…
Here, sepals of long golden-flame interplay with other less flashy licks … as they all vortice tetchily around a rugged surface.
Blue toning and accomplished rock sounds with a stimulating husky voice and a guitar technique that is way beyond masterful.
