New Orleans R&B Classic On Vinyl LP!
Limited To 500 Copies!
The great New Orleans R&B singer Larry Williams may not have the same name recognition as Fats Domino, Ernie K-Doe, or Roy Brown but his hits, especially "Short Fat Fannie" and "Bony Maronie", are still universally recognizable classics. Signed to Specialty Records in 1957 after meeting Little Richard and his producer while he was recording in NOLA, Williams struck gold with one of his earliest singles, "Short Fat Fannie", which reached #1 on the R&B chart, and #5 on the pop chart. Here's Larry Williams collects all his biggest singles on one LP along with some killer deep cuts. If you dig piano driven R&B shouters this Larry Williams LP is absolutely essential, a classic from one of New Orleans' greatest.
"One of the great R&B long-players of the '50s, Here's Larry Williams collects nearly all of the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter's key work, and a bunch of smokin' obscurities besides. Listening to these tracks, it's clear why John Lennon was such a huge Larry Williams fan; his rough-and-ready no-bull voice is elastic enough to move from a Little Richard trill to a Ray Charles growl, and songs like 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy' and 'Short Fat Fannie' are raucous enough to be punk rock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence." - AllMusic
