Blues Without You features performances from Bonamassa, Warren Haynes, Joanna Connor, and Reese Wynans. McCray’s 12-song collection comes with critical acclaim with Guitar Techniques Magazine, dubbing Blues Without You as “exquisite” and the tracks “run the gamut of what many blues fans want: great songs, rich grooves, tight band interplay and stingingly singing guitar solos,” while Raw Ramp exclaimed, “This is a magnificently soulful blues album, seasoned with wisdom,” and Fireworks Magazine stated the album “oozes passion and intensity.”

Over the years, Larry has performed and toured with such blues greats as BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, John Mayall, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Keb’ Mo’, Jimmie Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Joe Bonamassa, as well as rock legends the Allman Brothers, Phil Lesh, Jonny Lang, Joe Walsh, Levon Helm, Chris Robinson, Dickey Betts, and countless others.
Touring with The Allman Family Revival, McCray says, “I am extremely grateful to be asked to participate in the Allman Family Revival tour with Devon Allman, Duane Betts, and the rest of the incredible lineup that has been assembled for this great tour!
I have a long history with the Allman Brothers, Gregg Allman, The Dickie Betts Band, Warren Haynes, and Gov’t Mule, and I have a deep affection for all of those incredible musicians. Being invited to perform with their offspring is just an incredible honor, and brings my friendship full circle with the extended Allman family and fans. I can’t wait to hit the road with all of them!”
