SHOOTIN’ FOR THE MOON – Sonny Landreth

#1999 – SHOOTIN’ FOR THE MOON – 10/18/2019

Every once in a while you’ll pick up a new sound from an abnormal source. Such is the case with me and Sonny Landreth. I was channel surfing one night and Entertainment Tonight (of all programs) was highlighting Sonny’s then recent 1995 release “South of I-10”. I’ve been hooked ever since. Sonny’s killer slide playing is the standout on this tune, but it also features background vocals by one Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. Knopfler has been a fan of Sonny’s since his involvement with this tune recording with him on 3 subsequent occasions. Sonny is a slide master from Louisiana and can play everything from cajun, blues, rock and fusion.
