Born in Smithville, Texas, in 1940, Sonny made his first record, for an indie label in Austin, when he was 18. After learning bass and guitar, he discovered the lap steel; today he is one of the very few blues players who play the instrument, and it gives his music a unique sound. A regular nominee at the Blues Awards (previously the W.C. Handy Awards), he has played some 250 dates in a year.
