    My life has been so much richer since I found out about Larry Sparks' music. This is the way Bluegrass (and Country) ought to sound. Being from Northeast Tennessee, the music takes me home. It sounds like Southwest Virginia. Maybe that comes from coming from the Stanley branch, I don't know. But, Larry's got something else. And the Gospel songs are my favorites. God bless you Mr. Sparks.

    Larry sounds good as ever!! I've been fortunate to get to pick & record with his first banjo player & first bass player. Joe Isaacs & Lloyd Hensley. A lot of people don't know that Joe was with Larry before forming his family's gospel band & also before Mike Lilly.

      Out of the many things I like about Larry Sparks, he can sing a song with no minors in it and you'd swear there was a minor in there somewhere! Love his voice, and he has one of the smoothest "D" licks in all of bluegrass!

      @redlinemando 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@huliniswhoiam Yes, Joe did tell a few stories about their early days playing in the bars around Dayton & Hamilton Ohio. He never really said all that much about Larry's personality. I've formulated some of my own opinions about that from different things I've heard from Larry's former band members, but I can't really say for certain. It's hard to understand a person without being around them outside of the music & business side of things. I do know that contrary to what we generally see & hear of him on stage, he seems pretty quiet & reserved off stage.
