SONNY LANDRETH - Elemental Journey (2012)

Sonny Landreth is an American blues musician from southwest Louisiana who is especially known as a slide guitar player. He has performed and recorded with artists the likes of John Hiatt, Jimmy Buffett, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Mark Knopfler, Gov’t Mule, and Little Feat, to name a few. Landreth was awarded instrumentalist of the year from the Ameriana Music Association in 2005.

Elemental Journey is Landreth’s 11th solo album, and it’s his first all-instrumental recording. It’s a wonderfully bright, woven mesh of blues, strings, rock, zydeco, country, reggae, and jazz that shifts and turns and builds within each track, and all of it fits seamlessly together like a huge musical quilt made for guitar heaven. Track after track surprises and amazes here, from the opening “Gaia Tribe,” which features guest Joe Satriani on guitar, through the stirring “Heavy Heart Rising” and the joyous “Wonderide” and “Passionola” (featuring Eric Johnson on guitar) to the Caribbean shuffle of “Forgotten Story,” complete with steel drums from Robert Greenidge. Members of the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra are here, too, and the touches of violins, cellos, and violas that appear and fade appropriately throughout these tracks keep everything fresh, and there’s always some new guitar line coming in.
