From the Reach Sonny Landreths ninth studio album. It was published on 20 May 2008 and published five years after his previous album, Grant Street. It is the first album released on his own label Sonny Landreth Landfall Records.

The basic idea of the album

The album includes guest appearances by renowned guitarist Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, Vince Gill, Eric Johnson, Mark Knopfler, and other musicians such as Dr. John, Jimmy Buffett and Nadirah Shakoor. But instead of putting on guitar duels, Landreth wrote songs that build on the personal style of his guest musicians and also embed the occasional singing engagements in the organic material.

In addition, you will also find the instrumental Überesso that he had played the festival in 2007 at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar.
