Biography

Born: February 1, 1951 in Canton, Mississippi, USA. He is a singer, composer and guitarist, especially known for his slide guitar playing and advanced technique. "Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced.” ([a17827]). He spent his childhood in Lafayette, Louisiana, and in the 1950s and 1960s, Landreth came in contact with the blues, jazz, cajun and zydeco artists whose styles influenced his music. “Growing up in southwest Louisiana with a really rich cultural heritage, I got a lot of influences,” Landreth explained in the Chicago Tribune. Sonny Landreth currently resides in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.

LYRICS

might be superstition but some kind of somethin'
goin' on down there
it might be superstition but some kind of somethin'
goin' on down there
it's an old time tradition when they play their
drums at night in Congo Square

you can hear 'em in the distance
and the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
you can hear 'em in the distance
and the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
that's when the voodoo people gather
and they play their drums at night in Congo Square

... voodoo people

my eyes were not believin'
what I seen there but I could not turn away
my eyes were not believin'
what I seen there but I could not turn away
they had that mojo in motion
and I seen 'em dance in trance with that snake
... snake dance

it might be superstition
but when I hear 'em in the night I say a prayer
yeah it might be superstition
but when I hear 'em in the night I say a prayer
because I respects tradition
like the kind they carry on in Congo Square
... Congo Square
