Larry Cordle's power derives from the masterful, subtle way he combines the best elements of traditional bluegrass and honky-tonk. Cordle possesses a supple, resonant slip-note voice in the George Jones-Lefty Frizzell tradition. On a fine love lament like "I'm Not the First," a wise honky-tonk ballad like "Jesus and Bartenders," and a warm reminiscence like "Black Diamond Strings," all original songs, his voice works magic when backed by the stalwart bluegrass harmonies and hot instrumental licks of longtime associates Lonesome Standard Time. Best of all (and hilariously illustrated by some incredibly clever CD cover photos) is the title tune--another sterling Cordle composition--a scathing, tongue-in-cheek commentary on the general decline of tradition and good taste in Nashville. Cordle puts an even finer point on his putdown with his own consistently great taste and his own wonderfully inspired reverence for honky-tonk and bluegrass traditions alike. --Bob Allen

honkytonk bluegrass and more.......2000-12-18

Even without the famous, ruefully hilarious, Nashville-baiting title song, Murder on Music Row would be an exceptional excursion into countrified bluegrass. It is alleged that George Jones once considered a career in bluegrass, and in some ways Larry Cordle tells us what the Possum might have sounded like if he had. My idea of hillbilly heaven would incorporate a honkytonk with Jones's version of Cordle and Leslie Winn Satcher's "Jesus and Bartenders" ("Jesus and bartenders/ Hear it all") on the jukebox. In the meantime, Cordle's own version will do nicely. First-rate songs and hard-driving yet tuneful instrumentals -- all in all, a reminder of just how good good bluegrass can be.

Larry Cordle Is The Real Deal. . ........2000-10-05

Larry Cordle is a quiet man. He has a keen sense of his environment and the way humans relate to others. Those qualities are essential for a great songwriter, and he is one of the best. "Murder On Music Row" is an album (and a title song) which displays his honesty, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner. On Wednesday, October 4, 2000, I was not at home watching the CMA Awards show on television. I was doing a volunteer stint at a college radio station, programming a 3-hour bluegrass show. A friend called and alerted me that George Strait and Alan Jackson won the Vocal Event Catergory for the song, "Murder On Music Row." At the Awards, one of those "hat act" fellows (I'm not sure which one, they are pretty much interchangable) said he did not know what the person who wrote the song was thinking, they did it as a joke. One wonders who the real punchline is in this case. The song in question was a commentary on how big-money Nashville has pretty much removed all the good things about country music from country music. Larry has a definite opinion, so he co-wrote this song in response to some pretty big giants in his industry. This middle-aged David stood up for what I'm finding is not a popular view. This music, however, speaks for itself. You need to buy his independent release and enjoy all the songs, including two HOT insturmentals, "Black Jack" and "Buck's Run." This is southern flavored music is as it was intended, great stories, superior picking and wonderful harmonies. Let the Nashville Goliaths know what you think by owning your own copy of this slingshot!

Great songs.......2000-05-04

This is a great bluegrass CD. The title song, "Murder on Music Row" is great and has gotten the most recognition, but the picking, singing, and songwriting on all the other songs is great also.

Bluegrass at it's best........2000-03-31

If you are a Bluegrass music fan you need to add this album to your collection. It just doesn't get any better than this.

PRICELESS.......2000-03-13

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CD THAT HAS BEEN OUT IN A VERY LONG TIME. I AM VERY EXCITED THAT LARRY HAS RELEASED SUCH A POWERFUL ALBUM. THE MUSICIANS AND SONGS ARE BOTH UNTOUCHABLE. ALL THE CUTS ARE GREAT, ESPECIALLY "MURDER ON MUSIC ROW", "HARDTIMES", AND "ALL SAID AND DONE". I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT "MURDER ON MUSIC ROW" IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE A GOOD SONG WITH GOOD LYRICS BUT TO HAVE A SONG WITH THE BEST LYRICS AND MUSIC IS HAUNTING. I WANT TO THANK LARRY CORDLE AND LARRY SHELL FOR WRITING THIS SONG. THEY HAVE SAID TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD WHAT EVERY HARDCORE MUSIC FAN HAS WANTED TO SAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SO, ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY, SONGWRITERS, MUSICIANS, AND ESPECIALLY THE FANS, WE ALL THANK THESE GUYS FOR SAYING IT FOR US. I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND I HAVE SATURATED MYSELF IN THE TRADITIONAL, HARDCORE MUSIC IT REPRESENTS.

I love this album. I grew up on this music and Larry Cordle has done a wonderful job at setting it to a new beat.

a creative, courageous risk with this southern fried pickin'.......2004-06-09

Playing Time - 55:42 -- Kentuckian Larry Cordle (who now lives in Nashville) has a history of playing the clubs. While in the service, he played in a rock band called "Hot Lucy." In 1990 (with fiddler Glen Duncan), Cordle formed the band Lonesome Standard Time. Disbanding in 1995, the group re-formed in 1998 as "Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time."

Most rock `n roll music lovers probably know (sort of) what bluegrass music is. Bluegrass aficionados might be familiar with Lynyrd Skynyrd, the blues/boogie band that formed in 1966 in Jacksonville, Florida and named for "Leonard Skinner," a teacher who had suspended them for long hair. So what do you get when Bill Monroe meets the Allman Brothers? Southern boogiegrass music, for sure. The CMH record label has become quite famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) for their "Pickin' on...." series where well-known bluegrass session musicians have laid down acoustic tracks of tunes from the likes of the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith. They've even taken to releasing string quartets playing the music of Sade, No Doubt, The White Stripes, Garth Brooks, Yanni, Limp Bizkit AC/DC, Metallica, and Bon Jovi. Hmmmm! Well, think about it. There's a lot of great music out there, and if you've been caught in a one-dimensional musical genre warp for the last few decades, then you might have missed it. Or you might have tuned it out if it didn't fit your definition of good sounds. So an album like Larry Cordle's "Lonesome Skynyrd Time" could very well introduce bluegrass lovers to the great Southern rock of Lynyrd Skynrd.

As far as rock goes, that band was phenomenal. Their first two albums, the 1973 "Pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd" and 1974 "Second Helping" were my favorites. Adversity struck that rock band in 1977 when a plane crash killed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines. Fortunately, I was pleased to see seven of the eleven offerings on Cordle's album culled from Skynyrd's first two albums. They do especially fine bluegrass arrangements of "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," and "Freebird." The latter was a classic tribute to Duane Allman that became Skynyrd's anthem and staple on rock radio. Cordle is able to provide the bluesy vocals, and Booie Beach's lead guitar work, Andy Leftwich's mandolin, David Talbot's banjo, Kim Gardner's dobro, and Jenee Keener's fiddle do battle as this acoustic track rises to its crescendo in about nine minutes (a minute less than Skynyrd's original). The bassman is David Pomeroy. Percussion and vibra-slap (courtesy of Tom Roady and Mark Howard) aren't intrusive and fit nicely in the mix. Skynyrd's original arrangements also offered women backup vocalists, and Cordle relies on Carol Chase, Kim Morrison, Terry Eldredge, David Talbot and himself to sing the harmonies.

From Synyrd's "Second Helping" album come the opener, "Call Me the Breeze" and "The Ballad of Curtis Loew." Bluegrass fans should especially like that story of a young white boy sitting at the feet of an elderly black dobro master. Cordle gives us two other noteworthy songs on this album, an original called "Southern by the Grace of God," that tells the story of Skynyrd's life, and "House at the End of the Road" (written by Rock Killough and Larry T. Wilson) that just seemed to fit with the band's story.

Cordle and his proficient picking pals (fellow confederates, I highly suspect) keep the southern flag flying. Building on the southern rock blueprint, the accomplished singer/guitarist gives the classic songs a very nice, novel bluegrass flavoring. Southern fried pickin'! And finger-pickin' good! While not everyone's cup of tea, Cordle took a creative and courageous risk with this project, and he shows us how to successfully fuse the two genres. While I was certainly apprehensive at first, I now wouldn't mind hearing a sequel with covers of some of my other favorite Skynyrd songs like "Workin' for MCA," "I Need You," "Don't Ask Me No Questions," and "Swamp Music." (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Not bad.......2004-05-19

I bought this CD thinking I was getting bluegrass versions of Skynyrd songs. Not exactly...it is faithful covers of Skynyrd songs performed with bluegrass instruments. Performed with precision, I might add.

Cordle and pals are great musicians and Larry Cordle has a great voice, perfectly suited for this foray. I'm not much of a LS fan, in fact I am only familiar with their big hits so a lot of this is new to me.

My favorite cut is 'I Know A Little' with its snazzy, opening sequence.

Above-average bluegrass / classic rock tribute album.......2004-03-12

I'm not really that into the current trend towards novelty-oriented bluegrass covers of classic rock tunes, and I was never a huge Skynyrd fan, either, although I am a fan of truegrass singer-songwriter Larry Cordle, and was a little suprised to see such a fine musician doing one of these records. The good news is... it ain't bad! Cordle makes the most out of these old Southern Rock classics, taking them seriously and not just playing them acoustic for laughs. Occasionally, he sounds a bit too much like the Skynyrd originals (as on "Saturday Night Special") but for the most part, he takes these songs and makes 'em sound fresh and new. Sounds pretty good, really! Definitely worth checking out.

Larry Perkins is a banjo and guitar picker who has been around forever without getting the credit he deserves, but other musicians recognize his value, for they lined up around the block to guest on this wonderful album. Alison Krauss and Bobby Osborne sing a lovely duet on the Carter Family's "The Storms Are on the Ocean"; Earl Scruggs, Sonny Osborne and John Hartford pick with relaxed agility on the Carter Family's "Foggy Mountain Top"; Josh Graves, Del McCoury and Glen Duncan play with tender sweetness on Perkins' "Lullaby for Leanne." With two songs by Mississippi John Hurt, four from Uncle Dave Macon and four by Perkins himself, the whole album is anchored emotionally as well as rhythmically by Perkins' unforced, reassuring picking. --Geoffrey Himes

There Is No Better Banjo Player Than Larry Perkins........2006-08-24

This recording is an important event in American music.Will The Circle Be Unbroken comes to mind and A Touch Of The Past is equally as amazing to hear.
The disc is loaded with the brightest stars in Bluegrass but without fail it is Mr.Perkins who will leave you shaking your head in awe.
Talent like this doesn't come around often.When Larry touches the strings his banjo has a life of it's own
This is as good as it gets.

Great topical songs-excellent pickin'.......2004-10-24

Ok-I like bluegrass music. If you're reading about this CD-I'm sure you probably do to. As a frustrated musician, I listen to all types of music, and have accumulated an extensive collection of recordings of all types of music over the past 40 some years. During this 40 some years, I've heard recordings by an artist, and was so impressed by the music, that I sought out whatever music that artist recorded. Larry Cordle falls into that category, and I was fortunate enough to see him in concert locally a couple years ago. Very entertaining, great musicianship. Although this CD is pretty old now(1992), this is my favorite for it's topical songs, although I enjoy his newer recordings as well. These songs conjure up images-they paint vivid pictures in your mind while listening to Larry's verse. Great stories that most anyone can relate to. Check out Lonesome Standard Time, You can't do wrong and get by, Lower on the Hog, Little Cecil, You can't take it with you when you go, as well as Highway 40 Blues(which Mr. Cordle wrote, and Ricky Skaggs had a huge hit from). Guest appearances by Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs and Tater Tate.

What a lot of fun. . ........2004-07-10

The songs on this CD are country music sentiments sung and played bluegrass style. Numerous songs about busted-down relationships, heartbreak, infidelity, and other forms of mishap, mischance, and misfortune, sung up-tempo, with terrific and enthusiastically played banjo, guitar, and fiddle. And, of course, Larry Cordle's great vocals.

The opening song, "Anything Southbound" sets the mood, the tone, and the whole attitude of the CD. It's followed by an old-time tune "Rambler's Blues" about a misspent life that ends in misery. Things slow down a bit with "Carolyn at the Broken Wheel Inn," the lament of a married man on the road finding comfort in the company of another woman.

And then things take off again with my personal favorite, "All I've Got is Lonesome," a rollicking complaint of being left behind when someone walks out, headed for greener pastures. Fiddler Jenee Keener takes a turn on the next song, "Can't Let Go," a driving anthem of codependence. And next, "Workin' End of a Hoe" celebrates the attitude-adjusting virtues of hard work.

At mid program there's a rousing instrumental, "Cleanin' Off the Porch," and an equally rousing Cordle-Scruggs song, "That's Why They Call 'Em the Blues." Then there's a bit of a breather with the easier "Heartbreak Hurricane," about a big blow of a one night stand and the slow "I'm Not That Good at Goodbye," sung in a wonderfully mournful C&W tenor by the group's bass player, Terry Eldredge.

The set concludes with the fast-paced "Stray Cat," about the perils of domesticating a man used to "straying," followed by a driving "Railroad Man," and something of a gospel tune sung in three-part harmony, "Lost as a Ball in High Weeds." After a long pause, there's an unlisted 14th track with some foolishness about frogs (I think you had to be there).

The CD comes with a booklet that includes lyrics of all the songs and Larry's comments on how each one evolved for this recording. Plus there are color studio shots of the members of the group, and a scrapbook of snapshots featuring other recording greats and members of the family. What a lot of fun.

Great bluegrass... both progressive & traditional.......2002-11-06

Rock-solid melodic bluegrass from an old-timer with an established track record as a Nashville songwriter. Cordle's ties to the world of Garth Brooks and John Michael Montgomery doesn't seem to have tainted his love of good, old-fashioned mountain music... This is a nice, straightforward twangfest, with a few loose nuts and bolts rattling around to keep things sounding real. The guitars owe a healthy debt to Tony Rice's bent-note style, but there's also an pleasantly aggressive rock'n'roll tinge to the proceedings, a spunkiness that's always nice to hear in an era when bluegrass seems to keep getting ever smoother and more perfect. Nice song selection, including a bunch of Cordle's original material, a fine version of Bob McDill's "I'm Not That Good At Goodbye," an interesting take on "Can't Let Go," (best known from Lucinda Williams' version) and even a song co-written by the legendary Melba Montgomery, who apparently is one of Cordle's buddies. All in all, a swell record, worth checking out if you're a fan of independently produced artists.

Hard-driving in-yer-face bluegrass energy.......2002-09-24

Larry Cordle and LST deliver the hard-drivin' bluegrass goods with his new project, "Songs from the Workbench." Self-described as "a bluegrass band with a rock 'n' roll attitude," this group clearly likes to serve up their 'grass with a lot of in-your-face emotion. Cordle's rhythm guitar and vocals are joined by some stellar musicians in Lonesome Standard Time - Terry Eldredge (bass/tenor vocals), David Talbot (banjo/baritone vocals), Booie Beach (lead guitar), and Jenee Keener (fiddle/high baritone vocals). Keener sings the lead vocals on the bluesy and bouncy "Can't Let Go." As the newest member of the band, Jenee Keener seems to be fitting right in, hitting the ground running, and serving up some hot soulful fiddling and singing. Eldredge sings lead on "I'm Not That Good At Goodbye," a classic country song written by Bob McDill and Don Williams. While all the cuts are strong, a couple of my favorites on the album are "Rambler's Blues" and "Workin' End of a Hoe." Buried in the copious liner notes is a mention of who is providing those brilliant dobro riffs - it's none other than Rob Ickes. From start to end, "Songs from the Workbench" will take you on an entertaining musical journey that you won't want to miss out on. A very professional product. Nice mix of songs. Great musicianship. Hard-driving bluegrass energy. And lots of fun too (don't miss the hidden bonus "frog" track). This album gets two thumbs up from me. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Fully tooled bluegrass workbench.......2002-09-22

Larry Cordle is probably most widely known as the author of the Nashville-flaying "Murder on Music Row." It's initial rendering as the title track of Cordle's 1999 album didn't drum up any commercial interest, but a subsequent duet recording by George Strait and Alan Jackson led to more than a moment of irony at the 2000 CMA awards (at which the song won the "Song of the Year" trophy). No one can doubt Cordle's dedication to more traditional country fare (as fully exemplified on this release, for example), still, it would be tricky to rectify his Nashville's-killing-country-music stance with the list of industry vets who've recorded his songs, if his material weren't so good.

Cordle and band's second album for the indie Shell Point label continues their acoustic upbeat style, often emphasizing the blue (and downright bluesy) side of bluegrass. Cordle's originals blend smoothly with public domain selections such as "Rambler's Blues" and well selected covers, including a sterling take of Randy Weeks' "Can't Let Go" (originally waxed by Lucinda Williams on her "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" LP), and a bluegrass rewrite of Blackfoot's mid-70s rock hit "Railroad Man." The latter is duty-bound for pairing with Dolly Parton's reworking of Blackfoot's "Train, Train."

Cordle provides notes of each song's genesis, either their writing roots, or their journey through others' recordings to the band's repertoire. The latter, which includes digressions on chord selections and a healthy dose of name dropping, lends a folkie air to the liner notes. Cordle's originals speak sweetly of life's simple pleasures ("Anything Southbound"), essay human loneliness ("All I've Got is Lonesome" "That's Why They Call 'Em the Blues" "Heartbreak Hurricane"), and praise with gospel tones ("Lost as a Ball in High Weeds"). His cover selections, including Jim Rushing's "Workin' End of a Hoe" follow similar fundamental themes.

The band's singing and playing is fine throughout, with the instrumental "Cleanin' Off the Porch" providing a showcase for their hot picking. Cordle's songwriting, and his selection of covers, provides Lonesome Standard Time a unique flair.

All three of the principals here--Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, and Jerry Salley--are well known in Nashville circles as successful songwriters (and in the case of Jackson, a reliable picker and harmony singer), but on Against the Grain, they band together to interpret (mostly) their own material. Most of Nashville's finest turn out to lend instrumental support, but the trio's terrific harmonies are what command your attention. There's considerable stylistic diversity here, with hardcore honky-tonk, catchy country-pop, lite-country ballads, hot-country rockers, and bluegrass all finding a place in the mix. In most spots, it's difficult to imagine any established Nashville star doing a better job than these three do themselves. --Marc Greilsamer
