Larry Hanks & Mike Marker
American Songster: Larry Hanks has been delighting audiences for 50 years with deep and expressive bass vocals, tastefully sparse guitar-playing, and masterful Jew's Harpery. Hanks' CDs offer lots of surprises in store, and many a musical "old friend", too, as Larry brings his special brand of tender bass vocals along with sensitive and sparse guitar-playing back after many decades of growth and expansion as a singer.
Listeners can expect charming explorations of Cowboy songs, loving renditions of bluesy favorites, new and intriguing tight harmony singing with Deborah Robins, and as always; an unusual, eclectic selection of labor songs, songs Larry learned from great influences like Sam Hinton, Malvina Reynolds, Utah Phillips, and the New Lost City Ramblers; Jew's Harp playing at it's finest, and heart songs a-plenty.
