Sonny Landreth - Photo of The Week
While Sonny Landreth is first and foremost a blues guitarist, living in Louisiana creates for him a powerful attraction to Zydeco music that has never released him from its grip. Eric Clapton calls him one of the most advanced guitarists in the world. With a comment like that, people take notice. Growing up, Landreth often visits New Orleans where he soaked up the sounds of jazz & rhythm & blues.

I was 18 when I auditioned for UFO at Pete Way’s house in Columbus, Ohio. The great Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie played drums and we ripped through songs like Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Rock Bottom, Too Hot to Handle and hell even some Humble Pie tunes to boot. We had such a great afternoon.. The gig eventually went to Vinnie Moore but at the end of that day Pete gave me a cassette of a band who’s guitar player I apparently reminded him of. That band was Free and that guitarist was Paul Kossoff. I still have that cassette and have always been grateful to Pete not only for the opportunity but for the path he sent me on. The last time I saw him was about 9 years ago when he was touring with Michael Schenker during the Black Country Communion UK tour. I told him that story and he remembered giving me that cassette. I thanked him again. He was a joyous kind soul with a flair for the extreme. Just the way I envisioned Rock Stars to be. You are a star Pete. Rest In Peace. My condolences to his family.

Thank you to everyone who was purchased my A New Day Now 20th anniversary reissue and for making it the 23rd #1 Billboard Blues Album of my career. I am humbled and grateful as always.
