"Slide guitarist Sonny Landreth releases his third live recording after 2005's Grant Street (Sugar Hill Records) and 2007's Sonny Landreth -Live at 2007 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (Munckmusic). Far from just another live release from a jam band, Recorded Live in Lafayette reveals some clever programming by Landreth. Disc one of this two-disc set is an acoustic collection featuring Landreth on his signature resophonic steel-body guitar. This is a departure from his previous live shows, which were typically all electric affairs. Landreth reimagines "Blues Attack," "Hell at Home," and "The USS Zydecoldsmobile" in fresh and inventive ways that powerfully expose the guitarist diamond-dense genius. Landreth is an innovator on the slide guitar and a cultural alchemist mixing and making his brand of Zydeco-infused blues".

"After a dozen acclaimed albums, virtuoso slide guitarist, and bandleader Sonny Landreth decided the time was right for an career-spanning double-live album. Recorded Live in Lafayette is a 16-song opus that covers more musical ground than any single album ever could. Here, the King of Slydeco's work stretches and twists across 93 minutes of full-band acoustic, and electric bottleneck lightning".
