9.   Lots of people talk about Howlin’ Wolf. Larry doesn’t just talk. He howls.

7.  We don’t know for sure, but we think most musicians prefer to be celebrated when they’re alive instead of after they die.

6.  The West Side is the Best Side.  (The South Side is too.) These musicians kick butt. Lively guest singers.  Don’t miss it!

5.  Larry is honoring his late musical parents, singer Vera Taylor and VeeJay recording artist, guitarist Eddie Taylor Sr. by carrying on their music, along with his brothers and sisters.

2.  Larry is the Little Man with the Big Voice. Without the voice there are no blues.
