Originating from San Clemente, California both Glen Lystne and Marty Dieckmeyer make up the band Larry, and with this, their first album, they have managed to come up with a well crafted and eclectic mix of tracks, perhaps inspired by the surrounding they live in, the town being described as "The Spanish village by the sea". It's very hard to distinguish a musical style here as we are treated to some bluesy slide guitar riffs and then some softer acoustic melodies. "When You Coming Home" is very reminiscent of the band Counting Crows. Here we have a well executed album, which should appeal to country rock lovers. But there's little here that stands out from the pack.

I think this is way better then 5 squares. I certainly don't hear 'country rock' in this CD. It is organic and lyriclly well written. By the way, the bass player for Larry, Marty Dieckmeyer is the original bass player for the christian rock band Daniel Amos! FYI

Beautiful album, fine modern acoustic playing and arrangements, haunting chord progressions, subtle harmonies. Electric guitars giving depth to the live feel. Melody that reaches out of the speakers and grabs me, it's a great album. These guys deserve recognition. No trite song writing this. It’s a great album.

It should have more squares than it’s got.
