Larry Hooper - No Turning Back (2016)

Larry Hooper writes and sings with the conviction of someone who knows that every word is important.He packs every narrative with drama, every bittersweet line with meaning, shoehorns in every little sideways joke or wry observation that fits the story or the sentiment. Appropriately enough, he's not shy about growling them out like a man either reeling from a punch or about to deliver one. Whether he's singing about love, faith, or despair, the battle always looms in the background (and often behind a hero with a stiff upper lip and blood - metaphorical or otherwise - on his hands). -Mike Ethan Messick, Lonestar Music
