"If you haven't discovered the blues brilliance of Larry Garner, then you should jump on this bandwagon. These are blues for today, good to the last note stuff." - Big City
Larry
Garner has found a true musical soul mate in British blues veteran Norman
Beaker. Garner may have paid his dues in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while Beaker
cut his gigging teeth in northern England with people such as Alexis Korner ,
Jack Bruce, Jimmy Rogers and BB King. Put
the two of them on stage together, and they are definitely drawing from the
same musical roots. Garners powerful vocals and expressive musicianship make
him a natural front man his songs are delivered with a sense of irony with
lyrics that are both meaningful and amusing, added to this Larry has a
wonderfully expressive voice, is a fine guitarist and a great performer.
