 Rating:  - still not this oneOnly a handful of people around could have done better at that age, and those people are all great, so I give Sonny a break and give him more credit. But this is still inferior to his later work. Rating:  - Yes this one, at least if you like guitar playingThis is one of those cases where I can't understand why people are putting down this CD.

Read More Rating: - More country than bluesI have heard a number of Sonny Landreth songs that were definitely more blues oriented and very decent songs, so I bought this cd expecting a lot. I was really disappointed with this collection of his earlier works. It is about as close to blues as N'Sync is to rock. It is almost pure country and as someone who really despises country music, I very much disliked it, even after giving it three or four spins in the player. However, I gave it two stars because I think that someone who does like country ... Read More |
