Helluva good guy and a puts on a wonderful show. The songs are good to. Third coast is a classic and there is plenty of room for songs that make you want to drink beer, fish or lay on the beach. After all is there not room for fun in Texas Red Dirt music?
The man is a good artist. If your from Texas & dont like the Music, MOVE!!!
(Or) if your not from here.......
Like the great artist Ray Wylie Hubbard so nicely put it, "We're From Texas...Screw You!"
In this case, imitation is the WORST form of flattery. In LJ's own words: "NOT WORTHY!!!"
Another weak one from LJT. He tells Texas Monthly that his songs are not just yeha lets drink a beer and party songs, but he does just that. Stick to promoting concerts, but don't play them anymore.
Another great album by the great Larry Joe Taylor. LJT is known to some as the "Texas Jimmy Buffett" but he has his own Texas style also. Make sure you check out "Monkey River Town" with Jerry Jeff Walker! This will be a great addition to your collection in which I stirred you for.
JD & Anthony...Shut up. Like it or not, you dont have to listen to it. Some us like the festivals you talk so sarcastically about...and the music aint bad either.
Alright, we get it! You're the Texas Jimmy Buffet. Unfortunately you ran around in the 70s with Guy and Willie and Ray Wiley and were their toadie, now you've attached yourself to Pat and Cory and CCR posing as the Godfather of Lonestar/Red Dirt Music. You're music is banal and inane, and your Festival is a waste of time. ...I do like "Mobile Bay" though. That's why I give you 2 stars.
Larry Joe Taylor couldn't write a song if his life depended on it, listening to him sing is like listening to paint dry, and he's built a very solid reputation as a cutthroat in the industry. He's made a lot of money with his festivals, but is making a lot of money off other peoples' talents really admirable? Ask Fort Worth Weekly.
We saw LJT at the Back Porch in Port Aransas this weekend and I have to say I had the best time. We were right up in front of the band and they were wonderful. The slapstick and the music combination was so funny and I loved every minute of it. Just wanted to let everyone know if you really want to have a good time you need to go see LJT and the band. We loved the whole show.
LJT is one of the best Texas Music singers out there! His shows are always energized and his music makes you remember to always enjoy life! And for those on here who posted bad things about LJT and his music, go to his festival and see what it is all about!!
