SONNY LANDRETH at KGSR Blues on the Green 8-6-08

Tonight was Sonny Landreth, the slide guitarist from Louisiana. Sonny plays what I call blues rock with a mix of cajun swamp and zydeco thrown in. I did go up to the front of the stage to watch for a while. It's not often you see slide played as a lead so it was fun to watch this guy up close.
We also got a local treat as he brought Austin musician Cindy Cashdollar up to play several songs with him. She played lap steel tonight & had some killer solos! When she's not in town she can be found touring with the likes of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison & a few other fairly well known musicians.
