I am assuming the 45 is typ-O'd. The LP, from 1968, is on Arhoolie as well is called Ball and Chain. It also features Big Mama Thronton(doing an a amzing version of "Wade in the Water" which is also on 45) and Lightnin' Hopkins. <BR/>Larry is from Houston and was born in 1939 and from the album bio, apparently was childhood friends with Johnny Nash(they lived across the street form one another)! He spent a large part of his career backing folks like Big Mama Thornton, Lowell Fulson, Esther Phillips, and bunches of others. Great tune!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077321142152930445noreply@blogger.com
