Unexpected Gem
I've been impressed with Sonny Landreth for some time. He has extraordinary technical skills and demonstrates them with fret work that is incredible. The pleasant surprise here is that he slows the pace a bit and counts on the melody and words of the songs to carry the day. For me, this works perfectly. I continue to hear extraordinary guitar work, but find myself enjoying the songs more. I also like the artists he pairs up with on this CD, especially the Vince Gill cuts.

Sonny Landreth CD : "From the Reach"
This is great music for any "Sonny" fan. Although "Congo Square" still remains my favorite song of his - he pulls out the stops on this one - and plays with many of his friends : Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Dr. John and Jimmy Buffett.

I liked the CD, a lot !! His slide-playing is sheer genius - and he is the master !!

PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
I HAVE BEEN A SONNY LANDRETH FAN FOR MANY YEARS, AND I HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE MANY TIMES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CD, "FROM THE REACH," RANKS UP THERE WITH MY FAVORITE CD, "SOUTH OF I-10." AS ALWAYS, THE GUITAR WORK IS MASTERFUL, AND THE SONGS ARE WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM SONNY. WHAT I ENJOYED MOST ABOUT THIS CD IS THE COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN SONNY AND OTHER GREAT MUSICIANS SUCH AS ERIC CLAPTON AND ROBBEN FORD(AMONG OTHERS). A GREAT CD FOR LANDRETH FANS AND GUITAR-HEADS ALIKE.

Landreth is Fabulous
I've known about Sonny Landreth since my days as the entertainment editor at the Lafayette, Louisiana newspaper. He was always a great musician, but he has really come into his own here. And the fact that high-profile, high talent musicians respect him enough to play back-up on this album is high praise indeed. Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Dr. John and Jimmy Buffett are on board but play second fiddle to Landreth. Don't miss this one!
