Post Description

Sonny Rhodes is one of the blues world's great original characters. He deliver a smoking mix of contemporary blues. For the past four decades he has garnered well deserved accolades from his contemporaries, peers, and fans worldwide. Sonny is a genuine Texas bluesman, a blistering instrumentalist, Rhodes is a gritty singer with a real passion for the music he performs, one of the very few artists in the blues history who play the lap-steel guitar, an instrument who that gives to his music a unique sound. On stage, with some of the most colorful suits, Sonny is an unforgettable dashing figure, that provides a contrast to the gritty power of the songs he writes and the music he makes. In his younger days Sonny Rhodes was surrounded by Texas Blues.
Born in Smithville, Texas that on the third of November nineteen-forty a boy was born to Le Roy and Julia Smith, they named him Clarence Edward , as both parents were sharecroppers they were firmly placed at the bottom of any social structure that may have existed at that time with not the slightest chance of improvement. He was the youngest of six children and in the uncertain world of a sharecropper farming life, hardship went hand in hand with poverty. As a young boy Sonny would spend his days picking cotton with the rest of his family, it was during this time he acquired the nickname ‘Sonny Rhodes’ and since then the moniker has stayed with him.
