I caught them together ten years later at the Hamilton in DC. I've seen Sonny solo 12 times. No one plays slide like he does. I love small clubs, but people this talented playing in such small venues is a shame. There are a lot of people who don't know what they're missing.
Actually you do. Elmore James, Hop Wilson, Muddy Waters,Homesick James, J.B. Hutto to name a few were all practioners of 'electric slide.' All of these guys started off playing acoustic in a time and places in the south where electricity and money were not abundant to afford electric guitars and amps. Some adapted later as they moved North, while others liked playing acoustic. It's all just preference and situation.
I know this post is a year old but to save a curious musician unneccessary difficulty, some common lap steel tunings are C6 for old Western Swing, E9 & A7 for more modern sounds and a whole myriad of variations. "Same as lap steel" means nearly nothing at all. There are a lot of lap and also pedal steel guitar resources on the web.
Love love this. So smooth and on point. Two of the best ever.
Cindy Cashdollar is just the coolest....... her tone on whatever she chooses is just beautiful....
amazing.. skip is my favorite bluesman.. and you did him justice
so so great and touching my soul

Every time I watch this it provides me pleasure.
Love this stuff..so laid back...
how good is this!
Great performance!
deep in a very rarefied zone that one can not enter without severe gravitas . kudos
An apt tribute to a giant. Enjoyed it very much.
Very Good!!!!!!! I can feel the blues in that cover.
Two of the best harmonizing ...So good!
Now THIS is real blues..you can feel the despair in their playing...
For some strange reason it’s not despair for me although it seems hauntingly yet healing.
my heroes !!..well a couple of them.
Great rendition !!
That was a great, love that song.
Wow... Great emotion in this song... I liked your styles...
They should collaborate more. Really cool blues
Amazing rendition! I knew there was a slide version for me out there!
Excellent!!
Thank you

BADASS
good job sonny, cindy killed it. what a fine player
sic, that's how this needs to be done!!!
Brings chill up my spine. Lots of soul in that tone. The slide rules.
Coolsville, peace.
This is so good! Anyone remember Andy Fernbach?
dont care what anyone says but god damn there were some notes on that song that made my hairs stand, i love the original but what a nice cover!
ooo yeah
Well, I have, but I suppose that was the wrong word for what I meant. But you're right, I've only heard this song by Skip James.
that was fuckin sweet
Wow 2 bad ars sliders together, ripping it up! The sound they are both generating is pure blue ecstasy! Cheers cya on stage thx for the post!

@bersheik DADFAD
The slide guitar is without sin. The other fellow ain't half shabby either.
BlueBustard “the other fellow”... Sonny Landreth... 😳🤔😁
It's weird to see a woman play blues guitar, mostly because I've never seen one. Pretty damn good playing, though.
Hurts my ears awful!!!
What ever you were getting paid that night ...it wasnt enough!
