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.

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.

Purchase Grant Street CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Sonny Landreth Road We're On CD (2003)
Grant Street album
 $14.99  
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 mastery of his instrument makes this album quite the satisfying listen.
Recorded at Electric Comoland, Lafayette, Louisiana.

| | Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe CD (2003)
Grant Street CD music
$14.45 
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 is center stage. If axe-men such as Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, and Buddy Guy are your cup of tea, this DELUXE item is a necessity.

| | Joe Bonamassa Had To Cry Today CD (2004)
Grant Street music CDs
$14.45
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 intense focus is a hallmark of HAD TO CRY TODAY. While some guitarists squander notes, Bonamassa makes each one count whether he's engaging in country-flavored picking (the late, great Danny Gatton was clearly an influence), blistering rock-edged blues, or turbulent, inspired jamming. TODAY delivers on Bonamassa's ...

| | Richard Thompson Daring Adventures CD (1986) (Import) United Kingdom
Grant Street album
$18.59
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, and delving into both blazing guitar leads and delicate acoustic folk settings. Buoyed by a stellar rhythm section including bassist Jerry Scheff and drummer Jim Keltner, Thompson doesn't put a foot wrong throughout DARING ADVENTURES.

Grant Street album
$15.65
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 singing. Many of these songs wouldn't sound out of place on a Stax/Volt platter circa 1968, but Cray's flawless guitar technique keeps things ...
