Review of Larry Garrettâs CD, My Old Neighborhood
Larry Garrettâs CD, My Old Neighborhood, is like a relaxing look through a family photo album. It starts off with two great songs about growing up in Kansas City, Missouri. These live recordings have the feel of the old âfield recordingsâ of folk songs, but really highlight the songs themselves. Go get a second helping of home-cooked baked beans, sit down on your picnic blanket and take a stroll back in time. This CD is mmmm good.
-David Hakan, Songwriters Circle of Kansas City

We are all different. Yet, we all have a similar thread of sameness that runs through the fabric of who and what we are. Larry Garrett finds that thread and weaves it throughout his songs. While he is literally singing us his own story, he is establishing a connection that binds us all together as human beings who are just trying to live our lives. His CD, My Old Neighborhood, has a "you are there" feel to it. His material touches all of us, because in many ways it is us within the stories he sings.

My Old Neighborhood was recorded at âliveâ venues throughout Kansas City and surrounding communities. Acoustic guitar & harmonica.

Larry Garrett and his wife, Irene, reside in Independence, Mo., where he continuously performs at coffeehouses, bars, churchs, house concerts, family reunions, and songwriter venues.
