Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from his role as a highly respected sideman for artists like John Hiatt, the Louisiana guitar virtuoso delivered a stunning solo breakthrough. 'Outward Bound' places Landreth's astonishing, highly innovative slide guitar techniques at the absolute forefront, anchored by robust, swamp-blues rhythms and sincere vocal performances. The acclaimed album immediately cemented his reputation as one of the premier slide guitarists of his generation.
