Details:
Larry Lunt - Why Notâs 3rd album is a rollicking pop-jam-fusion-powered trip that invites the listener for an easy, carefree and spirited ride from opening to closing track. Powered by a jam-band energy and lead singer Larry Luntâs stream-of-consciousness lyrics, Why Not keeps anything from getting too heavy, while allowing the importance of a laid-back, mellow mood come through.

Originally from Belgium, Lunt conjures the lyrical delivery of J. Geils or Mark Knopfler, but with a slightly deeper voice, allowing the layered and textured musical progression of the songs to dominate, but not overshadow, the vocals. This arrangement works perfectly for the spirit of easiness and playfulness the songs embody.

From the roll-down your windows and turn the stereo up opening track âLucky Loserâ, which sets the tone, to the jumpy and peppy âSundayâ that blows up the middle of the album with a guitar-driven improvised live feel, to the gospel-folktale âRadioâ that builds to a blistering crescendo, the songs on this album all grow or build until they expand beyond the ordinary structure of a âsongâ into a more abstract, ethereal realm.

Other key tracks like âLittle Cloudâ and âJust Me and Youâ invoke a Santana-esque rhythm and guitar while âWhiskyâ, a more solemn, plodding track features a more structured march-like rhythm and demonstrate Luntâs depth as a lyricist and singer.
