This CD is the brain child of The "Boss" wrapped in a Ray Charles feel with a Clapton guitar, rockin' with a hint of country.

notes

Larry Crowley’s musical roots began in his living room in Maine, rehearsing with his father’s country bands. When he landed his first professional gig, he was only 9 years old. Standing on a milk crate, he belted out “Folsom Prison Blues”. Before Crowley got out of highschool he formed a band that over the years would know no boundaries. Larry and his band would make their way into the top spot in 3 states, and share the stage with The Outlaws and Chubby Checker. It was then that he was first called Larry “Rock-n-Roll” Crowley. It would not be the last.

Yes, Larry "Rock-n-Roll" Crowley would find himself playing guitar for Jimmie Rodgers (Honeycomb, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine)a number one song on all charts.
Then as bandleader for country music’s “21st Century Marty Robbins," Royal Wade Kimes, he shared a lot of big stages with the likes of Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Deana Carter, The Bellamy Brothers, and Ted Nugent. Being able to span both worlds of country and rock gives you the idea this cat is capable of doing anything, and do it well. You can also find Larry’s distinctive rhythms behind Garth Brooks and Danny Davis on selected Royal Wade Kimes CDs. He’s even made an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage with gospel legends Legacy Five.

The second song he wrote with Kimes charted Billboard. Then he had a European Top-5, then another that climbed all the way up to # 4 in the Netherlands.
Larry Crowley is versitle, he can do it all, he is calm, he is sly, he is better than good, he's the new kid in town who can take on all comers.
Now to the tracks, "Stand Up" the first track tells it like it is with energy, "Bang" the title track comes at you hard and fast, the guitar is killer. "Deal Go Down" is both political and clever in the lyric. "Faith Makes The Man" is one of the coolest interesting ballads a music listener could ever hear. In fact it is being featured on XM Radio Channel 10 on "Tales From The Trail. "Summer Avenue" is just plain fun, uptempo and in your face cool. "Rollin' On Down The Road" is a hard driving, heavy guitar song that is already being played by other bands across the country. "Telegraph" is an instrumental for the hard rocker down dirty and deep."Goodbye" is a very touching ballad written about Crowley's dad, however, when listening to the song, it could be your lover, or anyone. The song is very well written. "She's MY Baby" may be the one song with a more country feel. The reaction to the song live in front of the heavy hitters in the music biz was nothing short of ecstatic. It is an uptempo saying all the right things, with a groove. "Used To Call Me Baby" is nothing short of awesome brillants. The lyrics, the guitars, the background vocals are all doing their own thing, coming together to make a song bigger than life. What a song to end an album with. After listening to this record, you will realize this guy, this "Crowley Cat" will be around a long time. Yes when you hear a rumble, when you hear thunder in the distance, just look up and smile, that will be Larry "Rock-n-Roll Crowley.
