Larry Sparks - The Best Of... Bound To Ride

(Rebel REB-CD-7522) 2008.

This 14 track compilation is an excellent introduction to Larry's music. Eight of the cuts are however duplications from the earlier Classic Bluegrass CD, and half of the selections were recorded for King Bluegrass in the mid-1970's.

The remainder of the album consists of seven of Larry's best tracks for Rebel between 1983 - 2003.

The CD comes with a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Jon Hartley Fox.
