Average Rating: 
Rating:  - still not this one
Only a handful of people around could have done better at that age, and those people are all great, so I give Sonny a break and give him more credit. But this is still inferior to his later work.
Rating:  - Yes this one, at least if you like guitar playing
This is one of those cases where I can't understand why people are putting down this CD. It's not the type of CD that everyone will love, but it seems to me that Sonny Landreth fans would love to hear his great guitar playing, so I don't see what they are objecting to in this case.

Rating: - Not this one
Sonny Landreth is wonderful. He's done some fine solo stuff and great work with John Hiatt. But this CD contains nferior cuts from earlier in his career. Buy it after you become a big fan of his and have everything else. But get his other stuff first.

The music is all great, there is some beautiful slide, some solid jammin'. Heartily recommended for ... Read More
Rating: - More country than blues
I have heard a number of Sonny Landreth songs that were definitely more blues oriented and very decent songs, so I bought this cd expecting a lot. I was really disappointed with this collection of his earlier works. It is about as close to blues as N'Sync is to rock. It is almost pure country and as someone who really despises country music, I very much disliked it, even after giving it three or four spins in the player. However, I gave it two stars because I think that someone who does like country ... Read More
