If Sonny Landreth wasn’t so humble, you’d say this live album was an act of pure showboatery, the slide wizard splitting the set into halves (acoustic/electric) and knocking each out of the park. The chops we know about, but the career-spanning material reminds you of Landreth’s craft – try Hell At Home and the haunted True Blue.
