简介

After almost twenty years of writing, recording, producing music and fronting such bands as The Punters and The 8 Track Favourites Larry Foley has emerged to put his stamp on a body of work which is quickly establishing him as a solo performer. His new, self-produced recording is a reflection of his roots and his love of a good song. Here is how Larry describes the process in recording this CD: One real nice day last fall (2011), I put on the tape of my grandfather singing. It's not always easy to do. Here I was, just turned forty, with a boy of my own, sitting in my own recording studio. Towards the end of side B, “Sweet Forget Me Not” appears in the speakers and as I absorb the beauty of his rendition, the tape cuts off. I was again poisoned. Then I figured, I'd just fix it. I managed to get his voice into my computer and set to accompanying him and making a duet of the unfinished work. That was the beginning of this recording. I added the odd song that was a favourite around our house and stuff that I just heard and liked that seemed to fit. I heard “Medals Galore” (as I call it) at the St. Patrick's concert in St. Mary's (where my wife is from). Dad always like “McClory”. My Aunt Rose-Marie always sings the “Port Royal Song” at family gatherings. My cousin Ger in Grand Falls gave me a tape of Wat Brien, that's where “Free and Easy” came from. I wrote “Spyglass” in the midst of making this recording after a conversation with my father. That's how it came together. So it is very much a collection of folk songs with personal connections. I'm sure many people have similar ties to some of these songs. The CD also features other great songs such as “Gulf Of Mexico”, “I Don’t Care”, “Land Of Dreams”, “Sonny’s Dream”, “Island Lady” and “Streets Of London”.
