MMHP Season 5 Ep:23--Larry McCray--Insider Blues On Heartbreak City

Mid-Michigan's Boss Hog of the blues, your #1 Blues Man, Larry McCray returns to the music bins and online lists with his second helping from the Josh Smith/Joe Bonamassa production stall on June 13, with Heartbreak City. The KTBA Records follow up to 2022's Blues Without You brings McCray back to his roots and offers more than a glimpse of vocal power, delivery, and searing solos that have been his trademark for his illustrious career, nearing 50 years, 35 on the professional circuit as a household name.

   Larry stopped by the MMHP989 Studio inside of the Michigan Rock Legends Hall of Fame in Downtown Bay City to give the early word in February on his recording trip to Los Angeles with the team last fall. At the time of this interview, 12 songs were recorded. 10 made the final cut and one of the two cut are a bonus digital download for the streaming services. Bye Bye Blues is already hitting the airwaves and McCray is in the midst of working up tour plans, based around his health and the annual Fall tour with Devon Allman/Allman Betts team that he has been on for three years. McCray takes the team behind the scenes for the writing of Heartbreak City with Peggy Smith, Charlie Walmsley, Josh Smith, as well as MMHP's own Scott Baker, the forward momentum he has been rolling with after getting a blues resurgence over the past few years, and of course tips his cap with great stories about meeting and playing with blues legends such as BB King, Albert King, Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, and the Allman Brothers Family, amongst others. Get your blues on Michigan Music Fans, Brother Larry is back to sing you the blues and bring it on home!
