Dove with Claws CD Release on November 11, 2016
âThe late Johnny Cash coined the phrase âa dove with clawsâ to describe the fierce pacifism that grew from his first-hand look at Americaâs endless wars while entertaining soldiers in Vietnam. Cashâs words are a perfect description of the life and work of Larry Long.
âLongâs music had an indelible influence on a young cousin from Iowa who became the charting rock artist, Melvin James. Now Larry and Melvin have joined forces. The claws of Melvinâs guitar sharpen the urgency of Longâs message in a way that will surprise you. And delight you. And take your breath away.
âLarry Long started making great records a long time ago. Dove With Claws is the latest in a long string of victories.â
âEDDIE ALLEN, WRITER & RECORDING ARTIST
To celebrate the release of Dove with Claws, Larry will be performing the entire album with his band from The Melvin James Sessions at the Cedar Cultural Center on Armistice-Veterans Day, November 11, 2016. Tickets are on sale now, so get ’em while you can!
