Most recently his album 'Blues Without You' made #1 on Blues Rock Review's "Top 20 Albums of 2022" list.
𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬. Larry first emerged on the international stage with his debut release on Point Blank/Virgin in 1990. Through the 1990’s and behind 4 albums on that label, he quickly ascended the hierarchy of the blues and roots world, not just as a guitarist who could slay but also as an impassioned singer who could knock out audiences with his soulful, barrel-chested vocals.
𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, Larry has played and shared the stage with such blues and rock greats as BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, John Mayall, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Keb Mo, Jonny Lang, Joe Walsh, Levon Helm, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Albert Collins, and Joe Bonamassa. No stranger to the deep and endless world of the jam band universe either, Larry is beloved by and has performed with many of the greats in that world, including touring with The Allman Brothers Band, Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule, Phil Lesh, Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, and countless others.

Produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, the 12-track album refreshes the formidable bluesman’s career and reminds us that Larry McCray is the real deal and is poised to re-emerge as one our great American roots and blues performers.

The breadth of McCray’s guitar talent – as well as his songwriting talents - are on full display, found on tracks such as the classic blues shuffle “Arkansas”, the retro soul of “Breaking News” and the poignant ballad “Down To The Bottom” (featuring Warren Haynes).
