How many artists can you name that are still producing material after 36 years? The Rolling Stones may not be an obvious choice but Larry does a very amusing Mick Jagger impression on this CD, along with an impromptu rendition of the Beatles oldie "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" accompanied by Randy Stonehill. There are also the comical treats of "Spirit In The Sky" when Larry has a theological objection to the lyrics, and the Beach Boys track "Surfer Girl" with the distinctive vocal harmonies. Larry combines stand up comedy with the folk music that is reminiscent of Dylan the Rabbit from Magic Roundabout. Although most of the tracks are acoustic live performances like duelling banjos, several are studio recordings, and some are by Randy alone. There is only one track that is distinctive because of the electric rock guitar. As a prolific artist with something like 90 albums including bootlegs and compilations, this may seem like just another, but it will suit fans and the uninitiated alike who have yet to discover the origins of Christian rock.
