Gold and blue

After watching Moreland & Arbuckle's hot set I went over to the Subway Stage to see some more blues, this time courtesy of Larry McCray. McCray is a tough-sounding guitarist and a strong vocalist to boot. He credits his older sister Clara with inspiring to pick up the guitar - she was a blues guitarist as well, with her own combo, who never got around to recording. You can hear the blues Kings in McCray's sound as well.

S. rocks the four strings, then rocks one more.

Larry's brother Steve handles the drums. He's got a powerful style.

Then I ran off to see some lap steel.
