Release Notes:

Louisiana slide master Sonny Landreth takes his time between
releases--his last studio disc of original material was five years
prior to this--but when they arrive, the wait seems justified. For
the debut album on his own Landfall records, Landreth calls in
marquee name guitarists Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford,
Eric Johnson and Vince Gill to bolster the visibility factor.
Rather than focusing on guitar duals, Landreth wrote songs that
incorporate their styles, and occasional vocals, organically into
the material. There are plenty of stunning solos of course, but
they are integrated into the tunes that stand up just fine without
the six string fireworks. The album's title is a double entendre
as "reach" is a body of water and also describes Landreth inviting
his guests to be part of the project. The water theme appears in a
few post-Katrina songs like the scathing "Blue Tarp Blues ("Air
Force One had a heck of a view, lookin' down on the patchwork of
the blue tarp blues") and others such as the bluesy "Storm of
Worry," featuring Clapton's trademarked licks. Dr. John pays a
house call on "Howlin' Moon" bringing his New Orleans piano and
backing vocals to a second line burner that shifts into harder
edged rock but maintains its inherent Crescent City vibe. Jimmy
Buffett, who sings backing vocals on the track is virtually
inaudible. The lovely ballad "Let it Fly" slows down the mood and
sounds somewhat like what Landreth's old boss John Hiatt might
write. Ford sings and plays on "Way Past Long," a terrific meeting
of the minds where both contribute guitar and vocals to a funky
stomper that is a true collaboration in and one of this album's
many highlights. Guitar freaks will salivate over the raging
instrumentals "Uberesso" and "The Milky Way Home" the latter where
Landreth trades riffs with Eric Johnson whose own style
compliments that of the headliner. At just over 45 minutes, it's
over too quickly, but there isn't a wasted note here. The songs
are some of Landreth's most heartfelt, his singing is emotional
and understated, the production (Landreth with Tony Daigle who
also engineered) perfectly captures these performances in their
swampy glory and the playing, by everyone, is inspired. The guest
guitarists do their jobs well, but this would be a strong project
even without them and is surely one of Landreth's finest sets to
date.
