 Rating: - Sonny Landreth From The ReachSonny just keeps getting better and better. If you like slide guitar, you'll love this cd and all of Sonnys work Rating: - Not a bad track on this one!Not only is there not a BAD track on it, but I would go one step farther and say there is not a mediocre track on it.
