Larry Graves is an Austin musician, songwriter and guitarists. Larry has also worked as a producer, audio engineer and concert organizer for many Austin based artists. His obsessive pursuit of quality of song and originality have taken him through a gamut of styles and approaches to his craft. “I’ve never known who or what I am supposed to be. I’ve stumbled down the drunken, dark streets of Tom Waits and flown the celestial skies of Yes. I’m a blues freak. I worship Jeff Beck and live for Beatles pop. Chris Whitley speaks to me in my sleep. I’m a mess.”(Laughs). Whether or not Larry Graves is a “mess” is debatable. But there is no debate when it comes to his latest independent release NINE KINDS OF CRAZY. Here, Larry Graves shares nine songs he describes as “an obvious tribute to many of my most beloved songwriters.” And what a creation it is! NINE KINDS OF CRAZY is rock and roll of the highest order. It will defiantly be a mainstay in my collection for years to come. Quanah Durden.
