FRONT ROOM MUSIC ALBUM - ARTIST PROFILES LARRY ROTHWELL Larry Rothwell (1949 - 2008) was from a land of spectacular sunsets, Mitchell County, in West Texas. Blessed with a fine tenor voice, he sang in school choir and took up trombone, which he later traded for guitar. Singing and songwriting soon became a focal point in his life, and remained so throughout his years. Larry traveled extensively and managed to weave his experiences from a love of diverse cultures into his music. He expressed a reverence of nature, as well as an insight into the complexities of relationships. A prolific writer, Larry showed an amazing variety of styles, both as a singer and guitarist. His two original CDs, SACK O' SONGS and OK-JUST ONE MORE , are available through the Front Room Music website. SALUTE TO LARRY FRM STORE MUSIC I was delighted when Larry began working on his new CD in early 2008...not realizing it would be his final offering. OK-JUST ONE MORE (a quip familiar to those who knew Larry), seemed an appropriate title for his final studio album. The CD, recorded and mastered at Parrot Tracks in Manchaca and produced by friend and occassional bandmate George Coyne, features an impressive selection of talented musical contributors. This lone follow-up to 2000's SACK '0 SONGS, contains a bakers dozen of Larry originals, ending with a bonus cut (one of our rare co-writes)...the instantly danceable CAJUN LAMENT. OK-JUST ONE MORE is a CD you'll be proud to have in your collection and share with other genuine music lovers. The CD artwork, beautiflly interpreted by Michelle Dewey at BAH Design of Austin, was a concept imagined by Larry himself! Larry and I played music together for the better part of thirty-five years, touring and recording from time to time. More than just his sweet high harmonies and tasty guitar licks, I am regularly missing his presence...the laughter, jokes, and jibes. Larry will always be with us, and thanks to his magnificent music, there will always be a good soundtrack to help us remember the good times. Larry left this realm and went on to the next musical venue in November 2008. "LOVE YA, MISS YA, KISS YA, BYE..." Jim Stricklan 2009
