The Gentle Side Of Larry Johnson

STCD 006

Larry Johnson said it himself on stage in June 1999, "What y'all see here is a ghost, Larry Johnson died a long time ago". The audience fell into loud laughter. Larry Johnson, I can assure you is no ghost. His dexterity and depth of skill with a guitar is stronger that ever. His fine deep voice is the perfect accompaniment for the blues man’s long and lonely journey. Larry often makes jokes about his absence from the mainstream of the blues world, but ladies and gentlemen, he is back.

Larry's recording career dates back to 1963 when he accompanied Big Joe Williams for the Prestige/Bluesville label. In 1965, he recorded a solo Lp for the same company. His big success came with the highly acclaimed "Fast & Funky" on Nick Perls' Blue Goose label released in 1971. Larry is a rarity, a real blues man with style and class. His immaculate guitar playing and the richness of his voice are captured in this new offering, "The Gentle Side Of Larry Johnson".

This is Larry's first ever "live" recording from the Stamford Guitar Festival in the United Kingdom. The overall intent is to give you, the listener an idea of what to expect if you were to go and see a Larry Johnson concert.
