Music reviews. CD reviews. Critically hip!

This is what I call good Country! Larry Bagby’s album On the Radio deserves to be just that, played over the radio for everyone to hear. You are missing out if you don’t give this country singer a moment of your time.

His tunes contain a wholesome quality and the album presents the perfect mix of upbeat sounds and those on the slower side. It almost seems like the songs meld together to tell the full story of Bagby’s personality. It’s all too easy to listen to the whole album from start to finish. On the Radio, the title track, definitely struck me as the most enjoyable song on the album. It’s a little trendy, extremely simple, and all in all a great song to rock out when you need a smile.

Larry grew up in California, where music was always a big part of his life growing up. His father played in a band, Larry must have inherited some of that passion because at the young age of eight, his performance as “OZ” in the Wizard of Oz made him realize his love for music. However music isn’t Larry’s only love and talent. Acting plays a big part in his life. He has appeared in movies such as Walk the Line and Saints and Soldiers as well as popular television programs such as CSI, JAG, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Malcolm in the Middle. Phew---it is safe to say this country boy from California is both extremely busy and talented!
