Larry’s inspiration is the city of Effingham where he now calls home, and it plays a vital part in bringing this EP to fruition. He chose to name this offering, as well as his band, The Heart of Effingham after the Flaming Hearts at Effingham High School. Elvis, The Beatles, the Eagles, and many other bands were significant influences on Larry.
Larry wrote all of the lyrics, sang lead vocals, played bass and lead guitar in The Heart of Effingham. He gives credit to the numerous musicians who also helped on the project; Steve Jones on lead guitar and keyboards, the late Steve Boyd on keyboards and background vocals, and also Ron Kinder on drums. Additionally, Cheryl (Gebke) Gruner performs on drums, Danny Mohammed on lead and steel guitar, and John Colbert on background vocals. Danny Weaver played the steel guitar while Nathan Hegger lent his talents on drums, keyboards, and background vocals in the bonus track of “Karen Lee.”
Within each song in The Heart of Effingham, Larry G. showcases his diversity of genres. “Wild Country” and “Very Long Time” display a smooth classic country feel, while “Vette in Effingham” breaks out a groove of Motown mixed with the blues. “Sweet Lovin Baby” and “With You (The Biker Song)” take the listeners cruising in a rockabilly style. There is also a bonus track “Karen Lee” that has a retro rock and roll sound. He says, “There's no mainstream sound here, I want my music to appeal to an older audience and stay new and refreshing to a younger audience.” Larry G. is keeping it real in The Heart of Effingham, all the while, taking you on a stroll down memory lane.
