so I bought the Sonny Ladreath thing without even listening to any previews. The lineup sounded so hot. Hopefully just my cup of tea. Thanks for the recommendation.
Also picked up a Storyville CD. Really only slightly upmarket from pub rock but it makes a change.
Update: Sonny Landreth - Outstanding, particularly when he sings and lets't the guitar help the song. Some great songs particularly the ones with Vince Gill. Normally my relationship with country goes no further than Doc Watson but have to make an exception here. Anyhow great rock & roll album. Wonderful to hear something new, worth listening to.
