Award Winner
Rolling Stone (No. 968, p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "[GRANT STREET] is crawfish Cream, peppered with zydeco snap..." Down Beat (p.76) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "[H]is amazing slide-palm-and-fingers technique gives a sense of thoughtful preparation and construction." Dirty Linen (p.47) - "Landreth's voice is a nice strong addition to his guitar pyrotechnics, and he can handle a steely-eyed blues like 'Wind in Denver,' as well as the occasional quiet number." Sonny Landreth Grant Street Songs Grant Street Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews EC was there I attended the Saturday night show at Grant Street Dancehall. The most creative guitarist of my generation still alive. I have attended about 20 Landreth shows and this was the most intense performance of his that I have seen. Killer and EC was there for the Saturday show. Submitted by magoo (Ponchatoula, La) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
I wish this was on DVD too! amazing live recording. flawless.
I only wish they would have had the video cameras rolling too. The band is amazing. the drummer lays down some nasty grooves for sonny's fantastic playing. highly recommended. Submitted by jeff (Arizona, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Recommended by a friend...Thanks Joanie!!! Up until now I have never heard of Sonny Landreth.Usually it takes me a while to get used to a new artist but after hearing "Grant Street" for the first time there was an instant connection. This guy can flat out play the guitar and yet it seems as though he is rock and blues best kept secret.
This CD has it all,from rockers like "Native Stepson", "USS Zydecosmobile" (my personal favorite.) to blusey songs like "Broken Hearted Road",and "Wind in Denver" just to name a few.There isn't one bad song here,definately worth the money and then some.
After hearing this CD I can't wait to see him in concert. Submitted by Phil (Mentor,Ohio) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 3 found this helpful.

Purchase Grant Street CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Gov't Mule Deepest End: Live In Concert CDs (2003) Bonus DVD
Grant Street
$18.19 Additional personnel includes: Jack Casady, Les Claypool, Karl Denson, Dirty Dozen Brass Band Horns, Bela Fleck, Roger Glover, Mike Gordon, David Hildago, Paul Jackson, Sonny Landreth, Conrad Lazano, Will Lee, Jason Newsted.
Recorded live at The Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, Louisiana, May 3, 2003.
When Gov't Mule bassist Allen Woody passed away, bandmates Warren Haynes and Matt Abts chose to go forward to keep the memory of their friend alive. Rather than initially replacing Woody outright, they instead invited a number of famous bass players who were both friends and influences on their friends to play on a two-part project called THE DEEP END. After touring and having these numerous guests pop up to periodically play with the Mule on the road, ATO Records got smart and recorded the May 3rd, 2003 show at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans for a package called (not surprisingly), THE DEEPEST END: LIVE IN CONCERT. Joined by plenty of surprise guests, including Les Claypool, Karl Denson, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Bela Fleck, the Mule runs through two discs worth of tunes that include the jazz-flavored "Sco-Mule," chugging rocker "Bad Little Doggie" and the Dead-flavored Haynes/Robert Hunter collaboration "Lay of the Sunflower." Most touching is the heartfelt "Soulshine," with Haynes' gritty vocals raising plenty of goose bumps on this wholly appropriate set-ending song. For those unable to attend any of these shows, there is a bonus DVD included to give listeners a look at this special concert experience.

| | Sonny Landreth Road We're On CD (2003)
Grant Street
$15.05 THE ROAD WE'RE ON was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Guitar whiz Sonny Landreth hails from the Mississippi/Louisiana region, and his ability to bridge swamp rock, blues, and zydeco is a reflection of his home area's rep as a wonderful melting pot of roots music. THE ROAD WE'RE ON affirms Landreth's ability to tap into this well of inspiration, and with slide in hand the charter member of John Hiatt's Goners puts on a dazzling display. "All About You" finds him using a growling guitar to shape a Stevie Ray Vaughan-flavored shuffle, the snappy "Juke Box Mama" switches to some finely plucked steel-string work, and "Gone Pecan" chugs along convincingly with zydeco serving as the main source of inspiration.
Although the lyrics on this entirely self-penned effort tend to be a bit on the light side, Landreth's mastery of the six-string provides to be a sufficient to carry him through. Be it slow blues ("A World Away"), faux swing (the title track), or jammy southern rock ("Gemini Blues"), Landreth ...
| | Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe CD (2003)
Grant Street
$14.29 As the electric guitar ace Joe Bonamassa was so strongly inspired by blues and blues-oriented six-stringers (i.e., Clapton, Johnny Winter), many of his fans would politely pester him about doing a disc of blues standards. Originally done as a lark, the results of such a session were deemed by Bonamassa good enough to be released--hence, BLUES DELUXE, on which he covers some lesser-known songs and includes three originals. Of course, his fierce, scorching guitar ...
| | Joe Bonamassa Had To Cry Today CD (2004)
Grant Street
$14.15 Blues-rock guitar wizard Joe Bonamassa can make a set of electric six-strings burn and wail, but like many such guitarists, he still requires focus for it to be truly special. Such ...

| | Richard Thompson Daring Adventures CD (1986) (Import) United Kingdom
Grant Street
$17.15 Though it's one of his least-acclaimed albums, DARING ADVENTURES is one of Richard Thompson's most powerful and consistent efforts. It finds him at the beginning of his Mitchell Froom-produced period, but Froom's keyboards and trademark style had not yet pulled Thompson fully away from his vintage Richard & Linda/SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS approach. The songs are among Thompson's strongest; as ever, he looks askance at romance in a manner both wry ("Valerie," "Baby Talk") and mournful ("Missie How You Let Me Down," "Jennie"). He's equally comfortable name-checking Scritti Politti and dedicating a song to pre-WWII crooner Al Bowlly, ...

Grant Street
$15.89 Robert Cray has been quietly turning out consistently solid blues efforts since 1980, and 2006's two-CD set LIVE FROM ACROSS THE POND shows that Cray's brand of smooth, accessible blues has only improved over the years. Cray has a soft spot for the sound of 1960s R&B, a fondness reflected brilliantly in his sharp, tuneful songwriting and deeply soulful ...
