Larry Dale
Larry Dale , actually Ennis Lowery , (born January 7, 1923 in Wharton , Texas , † May 19, 2010 in New York ) was an African-American blues singer and guitarist .
In the early 1950s, Ennis Lowery was inspired by the guitar playing BB Kings . Soon after, he made his first recordings, initially as an accompanist for Bob Gaddy and Paul Williams (on the Jackson / Jax label), with Big Red McHouston & His Orchestra and under the now adopted stage name "Larry Dale" (for the RCA sub-label Groove Records ) with a band that also included guitarist Mickey Baker and pianist champion Jack Dupree .
Dale worked with the pianist Bob Gaddy in the clubs of New York, but was also a sought-after studio musician, who appeared on all four Dupree sessions from 1956 to 1958 for the RCA sub-label Groove and Vik and on the most famous Dupree album, the 1958 for the Atlantic label recorded "Blues from the Gutter" was used. Brian Jones (of the Rolling Stones ) loved his way of playing on this LP ( "Yeah! I have to play this ... what a sound" ).
Dale delivered his best recordings at the turn of the 1950s to the 1960s: for Glover Records he recorded the party blues "Let the Doorbell Ring" and "Big Muddy" in 1960 , then he revived the Sticks McGhee hit " in 1962 for Atlantic " Drinkin 'Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee ” .
