Blacktop Run - Sonny Landreth s new album Blacktop Run mixes genres and styles across a landscape of lyricism and rootsy grooves. His 3rd album for blues connaisseur label Provogue and his 14th overall will be released on February 21 2020. A percussive burst of acoustic resonator guitar pushes the narrator on a journey between the life I left and the edge of next in the title cut of guitarist songwriter and bandleader Sonny Landreth s 14th album. As the singer feels the wind at his back a rising bass line intersects Landreth s vocalizing to stretch the fingerpicked tune into Far Eastern melodicism. The south Louisiana artist s groundbreaking work has long mixed familiarity with experimentation and his latest ten-song collection stretches from hard-edged electric instrumentals to wistful acoustic ballads. The project s range is the fruit of a renewed collaboration. Producer RS Field who helmed Landreth s trio of breakout albums joined the six-stringer and co-producer Tony Daigle to finish the record.
