I think Sonny is my favorite slide guitar player. Awesome. And that Franklin guy ain't half shabby either.

Landreth is responsible for getting me back to slide. I was a deep fanatic for it through the 80's, including the requisite Ravi Shankarisms. When I got a pedal steel, I basically stopped for a decade. But you can't make a steel DO that. His tone floors me, he's like the anti-Duane. Landreth has some transcendent shows on sugarmegs.org, these two in particular:

And the Allmans closing the Fillmore, "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" definitively answers the "Duane vs. Derek" question Mr. Green

A few months ago I dropped my coricidin bottle on a concrete stage, needles to say I found myself at a Guitar Center the next day hoping they had some sort of glass slides in stock.
I was surprised that they did, and while trying out a couple of them one of the sales guys comes over and asked me who my favorite slide player is. He started naming guys that may occasionally use a slide, but not who I would consider a slide player. I finely told him my favorite slide player was Sonny Landreth, and he said "WHO?"
I told him to go to youtube and look up Sonny Landreth doing "Zydeco Shuffle", that's all you need to know.

You cost yourself some change when you dropped the Coricidin bottle. I wish I'd bought one every time I passed a drugstore in the early 70's - I'd be retired by now. There's one up on Ebay for $65, but it doesn't look right. Authentic ones can go for $150... Duane is surely rolling in his grave laughing.

When Franklin starts shooting his arrows watch out. That drummer is also world class. This is superior talent all around. Beautiful.
