In Concert With Sonny Landreth

2003, CrossCut Records CCD 22005

This live 2CD-set contains 24 songs and offers an overview of the four previously released albums «Low Budget», «Walk», «Plenty Of Time» and «Hank Shizzoe». There are also a brandnew Shizzoe-composition and carefully selected covers. Sonny Landreth - guitare extraordinaire from Louisiana - is the very special guest on twelve cuts. His unique, soulful and tasty style, along with his impressive virtuosity on the slide guitar blend in perfectly with Hank Shizzoe & Loose Gravel’s sound.

Hank and the band have never just reproduced recorded versions on stage. In over 650 shows in Europe and America they have created their very own and distinctive style, giving the songs room to develop and take on new lives - not just by changing tempos and arrangments, but also by exploring different aspects of the compositions. «In Concert»: two CDs, over two hours of music, a complete show, one outtake as Enhanced Video, an outstanding trio with a fabulous guest, rock music with deep roots - fresh, live(ly), spectacularly unspectacular, without a net.

This record will have you bobbing your head with the beat of a great band. Rockin Blues, live and get down good. Blues with a heart. There is nothing better than Blues done good. And these guys done good. - Roots Music Report (USA)

The quality of these two recordings is very good, and the more you play it the more you get drawn into it and end up feeling part of the audience. (...) what a great full sound they make, tight and solid throughout. There's great guitar work from Hank (...) This has been a pleasure to listen to this fantastic CD especially with the weather we've been having of late (sitting in the garden with the volume on high)... - Blues Matters (UK)
