The new Sonny Landreth live album, ‘Recorded Live In Lafayette’, will be out on Friday 30th June via the Provogue/Mascot Label Group. This will be the legendary slide guitarist's first live album in 12 years and today's Vid Of The Day is a live performance of 'Blues Attack'. The King of Slydeco, Landreth returns with 2 unique live sets, one acoustic and one electric. After a dozen acclaimed albums, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny found himself at an artistic crossroads. He finally wanted to create the full-length acoustic collection his fans had long requested, but he was also itching to capture the sound of his stalwart electric trio augmented by a couple of his favourite collaborators. And the time was certainly right for an elastic, career-spanning double-live album. So Landreth and his longtime friends decided to do it all. ‘Recorded Live in Lafayette’ is a 16-song opus that covers more musical ground than any single album ever could, as the singer and songwriter’s work stretches and twists across 93 minutes of full-band acoustic and electric bottleneck lightning.
