Another really amazing aspect about Sonny is how accessible he is. In 2016, he did a little show in Portland, OR. After the show, he came out to shake hands, sign CDs, and pose for photos with fans. And that is how I got one with him. What a remarkable individual!

With all due respect to Ry & Derek, I've maintained for a few decades now, that Sonny is the absolute master of blues based, electric slide guitar...this is a prime example, he takes it to other places, covering so many other facets, genres & styles. His Louisiana upbringing gave him a distinct advantage, growing up in such a diverse gumbo of music...it's in his very DNA👍 🇨🇦

No. It's not about opinion or taste, that wasn't pleasant. Picking something so well-known too, way too risky of a choice. Like cocaiane and LSD, some things just weren't meant to go together. All you people raving in the comments? It's perfectly normal to appreciate talent while admitting you just saw something that doesn't work. You're never going to listen to that piece again, nor do you want to, come on. You don't have to be a musician to understand that was not great.
