It's hard to create a CD that encapsulates such a storied career but Blow Your Horn Man! succeeds quite well. Not only is it a wonderful historical document - its a kick ass disc as well. The album was even nominated for a Hamilton Music Award this year.
Compiled from many of his solo CDs and other sources, it features work with such luminaries as Trickbag, King Biscuit Boy, Jack Pedler (Teenage Head), Neil Nickafor, Mike Williams, Dan Thomas (Hammertones), Jesse O'Brien and many more.
As an added bonus, there's an amazing unrelased holiday tune, Merry Christmas to You, where Sonny teams up with a who's who of the Hamilton music scene: Tom Wilson, Dave Rave, Skip Prokop (Lighthouse), Jude Johnson, Ray Materick, Harrison Kennedy, and others.
You can pick this CD at any of Sonny's live shows or download it through eMusic or iTunes.
