Larry John McNally
“Larry John McNally´s songs have the plainspoken eloquence of a Raymond Carver story with fluid guitar work that recalls Hendrix“ ROLLING STONE
Larry John McNally´s career began in 1981 with the release of his debut album on Columbia Records. Perhaps best categorized as a “Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist“, he calls his blend of literary lyrics and blues/folk/jazz guitar style “Folk-Hendrix“. He continues to record and perform both as a solo artist and with his trio in clubs and concert venues from Tokyo to Kokomo.
He is well-known in many circles as a ongwriter´s songwriter. His moody, guitar-driven, lyrical, thoughtful songs have been covered by artists from Don Henley to Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Jennifer Warnes, the Staple Singers and Aaron Neville. His own recordings are coveted treasures
among his devotees and delightful finds for those who happen upon them for the first time. They are filled with songs of passion, coming of age, angst, wonder, city lights, and more, all with the unique ability to create both an aural as well as visual cinematic-like impression.
“Nobody´s Girl“ is a masterpiece. Some of my favorite songs I´ve ever recorded are written by men - men who are highly conscious of what modern men could be. The song has a complexity in the lyric that is so artful. Larry John
McNally is one of my favorite writers ever. He´s an undersung, underrated brilliant artist, and is constantly putting out records. He should be appreciated more than he is“ BONNIE RAITT
