Provogue Records will release Sonny Landreth’s new album Bound By The Blues on June 9.
Landreth offers, “Ever since The Road We’re On [his Grammy-nominated 2003 release], fans have been asking me, ‘When are you going to do another blues album?’ After expanding my songs for Elemental Journey into an orchestral form, I thought I’d get back to the simple but powerful blues form. I’d been playing a lot of these songs on the road with my band, and we’ve been taking them into some surprising places musically. So going into the studio to record them with just our trio seemed like the next step.”
Guitar World has also premiered an audio stream of the title track “Bound By The Blues” which can be heard here: http://www.guitarworld.com/sonny-landreth-premieres-new-song-bound-blues-exclusive.
