What's been said............................................................................................................
Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine:
Garage country, with plenty of verve and energy. a rag-tag quality that's quite endearing. I bet they can get 'em up on the pubs's dance floor. Producer Krusen is noted for his work in pop, but proves here he's got a deft touch for raspy country too..
Rick Bell, Country Standard Time:
What will distinguish Larkin from the dozens of other singer-songwriters kicking around Nashville? As he admits in his song "If Walls Could Talk," Larkin is an "average Joe," yet he is able to relate attitudes and philosophies is well-told, tightly packed three-minute songs. Now that's something special..
Chris Blackburn, Your Sound :
the vibe that the songs radiate is roots-authenticity.......
You would be hard pressed to find a more exciting blend of country, blues, and rock in a Boston live band. These guys put on a great show and there is not a single member that doesn't stand behind every single note he plays.....
Freight Train Boogie :
.... some good solid songs with arrangements, a few amusing songs thrown in for distraction........ J.Place: The LOCAL Music Entertainment and Pub...
Teddy Larkin is a phenomenon to experience-total absorption in the tunes and Tom Waits aura provide an engrossing scene for any spectator.

Hi Teddy, Did you get tired of Mr. Ed breathing down your neck? I see that you been tubing the Big River with the boy with lots of names who is cute as a button I might add. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! I posted two rough mixes from my next record. "Never Stopped (Lovin Him)" and "Shoot You Down" are Old-timey Country Heartbreakers. Please check them out! Love BJ
Hi Ted! Yep, just snowbound, as pretty much has been the case all winter up here in Maine!
Time for me to buy a 4-wheel drive pick up truck. Guess I'll have to get me a good cowboy hat and a gun rack, too, while I'm at it! You know how it is.
Hey, maybe we'll cross paths this summer now that you're playing more up this way!
It's so great to hear from you....I wonder how your NY winter has been - I remember my first winter in the snow belt...danged cold if I'm not mistaken : )
All the best to you and your family - we miss you a lot down here.
I am following in your footsteps with the country flavor. You were and probably always will be a few steps ahead of the pack. I have been on a real country jag for the last year and I am looking for a pedal steel guy to play out with me. Hope you are well. Maybe I'll see you down in Nashville sometime soon!
I sure do enjoy hearing Bluegrass Ridge when I come to visit your space. I've missed it. I hope you are doing OK. I've been thinkin' about you. God bless. Darcy
Glad to hear everyone is well. We are all good too. Dean is still home - hopefully for awhile. We'll see. The new job is great. Thanks! Can't wait to hear from you about how things are when you get all settled! Kiss my son in law for me!
