Larry’s life has been a real ‘rags to riches’ story with his musical journey taking him through many twists and turns, personal hardships, and dark moments.
“Writing this album made me feel proud, as it allows others to see me as more than a blues musician,” shares McCray. “The songs are reflective of my broad taste in music styles and the subject matter, although personal at times, is relatable to anyone’s life. Hopefully, the words and message of the songs will help others express their feelings in a similar synopsis. “
