Format:Audio CD
Larry's blues stand out because he knows how to construct a story around an experience he's had, and wrap it up as a tasty blues song. 'Jook Joint Woman' is a good example, which describes the antics of 'a fun-loving' fan at one of his live shows. 'Shut it down' (on the double dues album) is another good example, which begins with his kid having a bad day at school, and ends up with Larry getting quite philosophical about life. Larry also knows how to play guitar to great effect, sometimes reminiscent in style to fellow Louisiana bluesman Buddy Guy. Presented here are original and sometimes hilarious blues songs. This album is an appetizer for catching this fine entertainer live for a GREAT night out.

Great CD
17 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
I just keep playing this CD over and over. He has a voice that can be best described as real. It ain't polished but what great blues man counts on polish? The track "High on Music" is one of my all-time favorite tunes. It has a reggae-blues riff and great volcal delivery by Garner that makes it infectious. The CD mixes classic slow and dirty blues tunes like, "BLues play my Way," and "New Bad Habit" and adds in great uptempo tunes like "Baton Rouge" and Help Yourself" that will have your feet tapping and you cranking up the volume. And there is even a catchy country-style lyrical tune 'Have's and the Have Nots" that show off his great song-writing. I love it.

Nothing Fancy-Just solid blues
15 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
I have been a serious blues fan since 1967 when I first heard an Otis Spann and then a Paul Butterfield album. For the past 34 years I have listened to thousands of blues recordings. However, over the past few years, I have been unable to locate hardly any musician who caught my ear. I thought I had heard it all and was just jaded. I bought the Larry Garner CD because it was on sale, basically. After listening to it a few times, I decided that it was prety good-nothing spectacular. However, it sneakily became the one Cd that I have listened to more than anything else I own.
Mr. Garner is a true bluesman in an age of several teenage, and/or pseudo musicians who play flashy, soulless blues. Garner is a solid guitarist who knows WHAT notes to hit, and even more importantly, when not to play. His singing is smooth and well phrased, too. Perhaps the best feature of this album is his ability to breathe life into standard blues progressions. The man can play--period.
