♦⇒ Po dvou nominacích Grammy, několika vystoupeních na Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festivalu a širokém uznání od ostatních hráčů a fanoušků z celého světa se Landreth těší na hraní nového materiálu naživo. „Je to všechno o vyprávění příběhu,“ říká Landreth, „a pokud dokážu najít cestu, kam pokračovat dál, jsem v tom.“ Jako písničkářský vypravěč zpívá v titulní skladbě Blacktop Run, „nový den svítá a nikdy jsem se necítil tak naživu.“ Yes, je to spravedlivě oceněný a poptávaný bluesový kytarový zázrak, singer~songwriter s nenapodobitelnou slide technikou.

♦ 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.
