about
Influenced by the songs of Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Doors and Bob Dylan, Larry Joe Taylor started out in the early 70s as simply a fan. Some 40 years later, he finds himself right in the middle of the biggest dream of his life…to not only be a respected songwriter in his own right, but also having the opportunity to present songwriters and music he respects on one of the biggest stages in the U.S.…the Larry Joe Taylor Texas Music Festival, now in its 22nd year drawing crowds 30,000 plus. In addition to festival building, Larry Joe Taylor's latest project, scheduled for release in the Spring of 2010, is a live DVD recorded at one of his favorite venues, Third Coast Theater in Port Aransas, Texas. Campfire Records released Taylor's debut CD, Coastal & Western. The DVD will be released on Taylor's own Boatfolk Record label as have five of his previous albums. Taylor's latest release, Times, is a collection of four self-penned songs, three co-written with friends Mike McClure & Keith Sykes and three written by legendary songwriters Richard Leigh, Chris Hennessee, Steven Fromholz and Allen Shamblin. The record also features guest vocals by Jerry Jeff Walker and Mike McClure. Not only does Taylor write most of the songs for his own albums, he's also proud of the many other artists who have cut his tunes, including Jerry Jeff Walker and the Lost Gonzo Band, Keith Sykes, Richard Leigh, Gary P. Nunn, Michael Hearne, Joe Pat Hennen, Mike Graham, Doc Wesson, Tommy Alvers
