Larry McCray is one of the great bluesmen of my generation -and a great guy who lives 7 miles from my in laws in Central Michigan. Because of that, we’ve spent a fair amount of time together and I am so excited to be able to share with the rest of you what a prince of a guy Larry is.
Today is the release date for Larry’s Heartbreak City, a great new Joe Bonamassa/Josh Smith produced album. We discussed that, his relationships with Warren Haynes - Larry was the first person to record “Soulshine” - and Devon Allman; why his Mt. Rushmore of the blues includes BB King, Albert King, Freddie King and Albert Collins - and much more.

The paperback edition of my fourth book, Brothers and Sisters: the Allman Brothers Band and The Album That Defined The 70s, was recently released by St. Martin’s Press. It was the third consecutive one to debut in the New York Times Non-Fiction Hardcover Bestsellers List, following Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan and One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. My first book, Big in China: My Unlikely Adventures Raising a Family, Playing the Blues and Becoming a Star in Beijing, about my experiences raising a family in Beijing and touring China with a popular original blues band, was optioned for a movie by Ivan Reitman’s Montecito Productions. I am also a guitarist and singer with two bands, Big in China and Friends of the Brothers, the premier celebration of the Allman Brothers Band.
