Nice review. They got it right calling Vince one of the "greatest guitar players on the planet"!

The link may not work so here are a couple of excerpts. Sounds like a great CD.

conqueroo) Sonny Landreth will release his ninth album, titled From The Reach and his first on his own Landfall Records label (distributed by Ryko Distribution), on May 20. On it, Landreth does something unprecedented in his body of work as he collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet — Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill — in some jaw-dropping performances....

...."The Milky Way Home" is a powerful instrumental rocker that features Eric Johnson on delectably distorted guitar passages that morph into his trademark cello-like sound. "The Goin' On" shifts into a country-rock groove, with Vince Gill and Sonny alternating between guitar solos and lead vocals. Robben Ford brings his extraordinary tone and phrasing to "Way Past Long" and "Blue Angel" (the latter with Gill on backing vocals), as Landreth swaps his trusty Strat for a Les Paul. Each of these performances is an extraordinary showcase of brilliant players reacting to each other in supremely inspired fashion.

This will be a very cool CD! Eric Johnson is one of my favorite guitar players of all time! I had the pleasure of watching Eric Clapton standing next to EJ in Dallas at the 2004 Crossroads Festival. I have seen all those guys play live except for Knoplfer.

Here's my picture of guitar greats Eric Johnson(Who also plays on the Landreth CD), Steve Lukather & Steve Vai. http://www.stevelukather.net/Review.aspx?id=48
