Sonny Landreth : Grant Street

© 2005 Sugarhill Records

"There are chords that chime, dance atop the beat, mutate in midair or huff like a harmonica. There are fast-picked overtones that arrive like a tuned hailstorm and gutsy nuances of distortion and feedback. The effects can be startling, but they're never gratuitous. They are the sounds of a musician who has deeply investigated his instrument without leaving his roots." —The New York Times

Recorded Live at Grant Street Dancehall, Lafayette, LA, April 23 and 24, 2004, Grant Street is a searing live set featuring songs from Sonny Landreth's first, out-of-print 1981 solo release all the way up to his last release, 2003's Best Contemporary Blues Grammy-nominated The Road We're On. This time, the studio sheen is absent ... and the electricity is omnipresent!

"I've been thinking about doing a live album for a long time. When people come out and hear us play, this is what they get-a three-piece band: guitar, bass and drums. It's a true live album. It's more raw, it's a lot looser." —Sonny Landreth
