notes
This is fresh stuff: insightful songs delivered from the heart. Built around the theme of coming home, these ten songs offer cheerful, dark, optimistic and ironic looks at issues we all face in our magnificent, confusing lives. Here's songwriting as reportage, op-ed, and the funny pages all rolled into one.
"Home Last Night" isn't just great lyrics, though. This guy can play. Acoustic or electric, Larry plays with a spare kind of passion and understated intensity you don't hear much anymore. He honed this style in smoky old bars, college gyms, and long-gone trendy nightclubs.
But there are lots of guitar players around. It's Larry's singing you'll remember. His versatile vocal style, delivered from a well-loved, badly abused instrument, will have you scratching your head and saying, "I know who this guy sounds like, but I can't quite say the name..." That's because he sounds a little like a lot of people, but nobody you can name sounds quite like him.
If you like gritty, wry, heartfelt songs about real life, we think you're going to like these. If you absolutely HAVE TO see a pierced belly button to enjoy the music, this CD probably isn't for you.

Outstanding songs!
author: Eddie Russell, Country Eastern West, Columbus, TxThese are outstanding songs with rich, meaningful lyrics, melodies, and vocal performance. Will be using on my show.
Strong lyrics, wonderful sound
author: Ray Pieters, Dj For 103.1 Fm, BelgiumI play all tracks on my show because they are all strong. Larry Lampi has a very special voice, strong lyrics, and a wonderful sound--reminds me of Lyle Lovett. My favorite tracks are #1, A Lonely Thing in Me, and #9, The Last Hurrah. The songs ask some concentration from the listener...this is great music!
