DESCRIPTION:

In “Since I Met You Baby,” Bluegrass Hall of Famer Larry Sparks celebrates his wife Pam—the cover art featuring a photo from their wedding day. The timeless lyrics hold special meaning for Sparks, making it a natural fit for his new album. First written and recorded by Ivory Joe Hunter in 1956, the song became both an R&B and pop hit. Sparks now brings the classic into his own world, adding a lively bluegrass tempo and his signature picking to give the beloved tune fresh life.
