{"product_id":"heres-larry-williams-1","title":"Here's Larry Williams","description":"His first album remastered from the original mono tapes.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the great R\u0026amp;B long-players of the '50s, Here's Larry Williams collects nearly all of the Los Angeles-based singer\/songwriter's key work (\"Bad Boy\" and 1967's \"Mercy Mercy Mercy\" are the only truly essential tracks missing), and a bunch of smokin' obscurities besides. Listening to these tracks, it's clear why John Lennon was such a huge Larry Williams fan; his rough-and-ready no-bull voice is elastic enough to move from a Little Richard trill to a Ray Charles growl, and songs like \"Dizzy Miss Lizzy\" and \"Short Fat Fannie\" are raucous enough to be punk rock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence. Of the lesser-known tracks, the giddy Buddy Holly-meets-Richard Berry \"You Bug Me, Baby\" and the salacious \"Little School Girl,\" featuring a good and greasy sax solo, are the highlights; on the downside, \"Ting A Ling\" is as slight and tossed-off as its title, and the intrusive female chorus that sounds like it made the wrong turn from the Rosemary Clooney session down the hall is just plain awful. ~ Stewart Mason","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41953038925989,"sku":"8055515230307","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/874fe0f22798e56d71022e0b4aa7ef88.jpg?v=1779643844","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-fr\/products\/heres-larry-williams-1","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
