Once upon a time he had a bio, but that was a while ago and it's a bit dated now, so this will have to do.
Larry Hooper plays music. He loves playing music and hopes that you love the music he plays. Or at least like the music he plays. Or at the very least, tolerate it enough not to throw anything heavy at him.
He has a cd called "Rust" for sale and thinks you should buy it. It is by far the best c.d. he has ever put out. It is possibly the best c.d. ever made by anyone ever

Gold don't rust
author: Mike Ethan Messick
This is a rootsy, wise, and funny collection of songs that always pleases but never panders. It'd be nice to see more Texas music go in this direction, but until it does feel free to bask in Hoop's uniqueness.

Good stuff!
author: Matthew Caudle
Well I'm like everyone else I thought that background music was probley the best track, but I think seawall was a good opener..... I also really enjoyed Bloodlines, Your Disguise, Corsicana ..... not to say I didn't like them all.
This has got to be the only cd I own I'll put in and listen to front to back.....

Simply a great CD!
author: Vince Cooper
This album brought me back to a simpler time, much like when I was growing up. The music envoked in me memories and emotions I thought were long gone, and for a while carried me back to the hill country. I loved the irony in "Wild side", but the tragedy of "Background Music" made this a must have. Things like love, pain, regret - they're all really simple after all. I love how Hooper can convey those feelings without turning the effort into a psychological warp cruise. Sometimes you just hurt, and there's no explaining it away. This is really a slice right out of the heart, and I recommend it highly!

A taste of the Texas Tradition of great song writing
author: Ray Weaver
It must be the water. Larry Hooper continues that great Texas tradition of scary-good songwriting that gave us folks like Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and countless others. From the seawalls to the backroads to the cities, Larry knows his stories, and performs them honestly and well. This is real music, written and performed by a guy that is one Tim McGraw cover away from being thought of like his fellow Texan Bruce Robison...a writer that goes his way, and still manages to top the charts.
