Sonny Landreth Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour

The Sonny Landreth Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

We’ve got something exceptional from the archives. This is an interview Paul did with one of the most exceptional musical artists he has ever encountered. It’s rare that someone is able to perform at such a high ability in so many ways: as an instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, live shows and on records. Paul has frequently named him as a favorite recording artist for the great sound he gets out of his chosen instrument and his unique vocal styling.

This is an interview with Sonny Landreth, the originally broadcast on the radio in 2008. It’s not been heard since the original airplay.

The special guest, Sonny Landreth is a master of the slide guitar who joined Paul to talk about his album “From the Reach.” Sonny Landreth is a solo artist, but has worked with greats like John Hiatt, Eric Clapton, and on the road he’s also been a frequent guest of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band.

Sonny Landreth discussed his early influences, and recording with the great artists that appeared on From the Reach, people like Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Vince Gill, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Nadirah Shakoor and Jimmy Buffett. Now that’s, but one album in Sonny Landreth’s discography. All of his records are really great and worth checking out!
