Larry Jon Wilson 'Melt Not My Igloo'
Got turned on to the brilliance of LJW whilst watching Heartworn Highways - a docu-film about country music featuring Townes Van Zandt, Steve Young and Guy Clarke among other outlaw country musicians, which itself comes highly recommended. Check out Larry in action on a clip from the film here performing 'Ohoopee River Bottomland'. Not only does he come across as an extremely good lad, but his awesome barritone voice and soulful take on Southern rock, occasionally laced with driving funk undercurrents on three consistently good albums from the seventies, makes it hard to understand why he wasn't more widely lauded for his efforts. Here he warns of Eskimo gravy being pretty cold. Thanks for the heads-up Mr. Wilson.
