LARRY SPARKS
New Highway (Remastered)
DESCRIPTION:
New Highway is an important addition to a catalog that stands among the best bluegrass has to offer. Each song on the album gets the quintessential Larry Sparks treatment. Simple, sturdy arrangements center on the master’s powerful yet nuanced approach to both guitar work and singing. Larry gives an emotional, compelling delivery especially well suited to the album’s gospel messages.
