Born on February 1, 1951 in Canton, Mississippi, Sony specializes in many reputed genres including blues, country blues, delta blues, zydeco and cajun. And the amazing thing is that he has collaborated with many legends such as Eric Clapton, Kenny Logins, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knofler, Clifton Cheiner, John Hiatt, John Mayall, Buckwheat Zydeco, Peter Maffay and many more.

And if you wish to learn about his singing and songwriting prowess, you would want to listen to his hit solos such as Outward Bound, South of I-10 and Levee Town.

Just for your info, American Blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa describes Sonny as "a freak of nature". He says no one plays slide like this Sonny.

Most precisely, Sony is known for his unique fretting style and right hand technique.  More info on his playing style and instrumental use can be accessed via his Wikipedia biography.  

Now moving on to his physical configuration, he is a tall man who possesses a speculated height that lies in the range of 5 feet and 9 inches to 5 feet and 10.5 inches. Moreover, he is a slender man and possesses a shoulder length downdo. (original hair color brown, now whitening because of old age).

Now moving on to his relationship status, the 64 year old was reportedly dating his award winning graphic designer girlfriend Megan Barra a long time ago. Anyway, we are unaware about his present relationship status. He may be still dating Megan or there is also a high probability of him being married to Megan. If you don't know, Megan  was once nominated for Grammy for her work on Sony's fifth studio album "Levee Town". Then, Sonny attended the event with her. Isn't that amazing?

Unfortunately, we couldn't trace his accurate net worth. Music enthusiasts say he is not about money but about music. His recognition among his peers and music enthusiast is very high. People say he is one of the most underestimated musicians. We think he is underestimated because many people doesn't know much about real music and are just attracted to fancy things and fancy music videos.
