Album Notes

Born in the wilds of Long Island with a fork in one hand and a Victrola in the other, Larry Block was raised on Big Bands and TV dinners. Forced to learn the piano at an early age, he quickly opted to belt out the best of Bowie and the Blues, rather than the bleak Baroque of an earlier generation. He left the security and slickness of the Manhattan art scene for the clarity and coolness of the California Coast.

With guitar in hand he developed his own songwriting style, with hints of Tom Petty and Lucinda Williams thrown in for good measure. The release of his long awaited debut CD, Losing Town, with its catchy country pop sensibility and soulful ballads weave tales of longing and desire, infused with skepticism and hope.

Losing Town
author: Robert B Gray
                            
I bought this CD because I was told it was Gay CW. As someone Gay, and a lover of CW music, I was intrigued. But this isn't Gay CW. This is CW in it's finest form, moving you every which way. It makes you want to dance, it makes you want to cry. Just like the songs of the great CW writers and performers I grew up with. This is just great music.

Brilliant, stirring and eloquent.

Sweet Wolverine is a stunning commentary on the duality of love, longing, and passion; Block's poetry is well matched to his stirring melody and earthy vocal quality. Other hits include the memorable Losing Town, with its catchy tune, and Another Love is a toss up between hopefulness and hoplessness; Block leaves it to us to decide. This CD's collection of songs runs the gamut from darkness to brilliance, exuberance to crippling pain. And this listener is better for having listened! Great work. When's the next CD coming?!

I defy anyone not to be seduced by Losing Town. It's a CD for all the rooms of your heart. With a range of moods, great rhythms & lyrics, it's sexy, get-up-&-dance, to reflective & poignant. It's one to fall in love with someone to - or get over them by! It just makes you feel good & gets better with every listening. GREAT for the car.
