What an excellent performer. Nothing can beat John Hiatt live.

If Sonny were ten years older he could have been the perfect replacement for Duane in the Allman Brothers Band.

[Peter Lisboa]

John Hiatt is one of the greatest ever...

John Hiatt rocks! I saw them live in NYC around this time. The best.

Sonny's playing is sick! I think his biggest influence must be Johnny Winter.

This band is perfection. Great clip.

My pleasure. I was aware of John Hiatt as a songwriter in the late '80s, but I didn't appreciate him as a live performer until late one night in 1988 when he and The Goners tore it up on Late Night With David Letterman doing "Slow Turning." Fell in love with that song and with that unforgettable slide guitar lick from one Sonny Landreth. Always make sure to see them live whenever they tour the Pacific Northwest.

Hey Brother, I owe you a big Thanks! I worship at the alter of Dwane Allman. So I was shocked by your comment, till I checked out Sonny on Youtube...I actually never heard of him befoer! Holly Sh*t! YES he could have held Dwane's spot. (If he could deal w/ DB!) I think God (and or Dwane) smiled on the ABB with Waren and Derek. Thanks for turning me on to Sonny!

[Robert Vander Voort]

Sonny Landreth is amazing on this.

I was fortunate to see JH & the Goners in NYC during this period. What a kickass band! Great songs, great musicianship, the best!
