Larry McCray (born April 5, 1960), is an American blues guitarist and singer from Magnolia, Arkansas. McCray, the second youngest of nine siblings, grew up living on a farm. McCray learned guitar from his sister, Clara. “She used to play real low-down and dirty”, McCray recalled years later. His family moved to Saginaw, Michigan in 1972.[4] McCray took his influence from his sibling and the three Kings (B.B., Freddie and Albert), to playing the local club circuit, with his brothers Carl on bass guitar and Steve on drums. After high school, McCray worked at General Motors on the assembly line, before recording his debut album, Ambition (1991), via Point Blank Records. It was recorded in a friend’s basement recording studio in Detroit. He was soon touring with a fellow record label artist, Albert Collins. His 1993 follow-up, Delta Hurricane, was produced by the veteran British blues devotee, Mike Vernon. See for more.
