Larry Dale is an American blues singer and guitarist. During the early 1950s Ennis Lowery (his legal name) took initial inspiration on guitar playing from B. B. King, soon making his first recordings as a sideman for Paul Williams & His Orchestra (on Jax Records) and for Big Red McHouston & His Orchestra, and under his then chosen moniker "Larry Dale" with a band that included Mickey Baker and pianist Champion Jack Dupree. Dale worked the New York club circuit with pianist Bob Gaddy.

  • Larry Dale is an American blues singer and guitarist. During the early 1950s Ennis Lowery (his legal name) took initial inspiration on guitar playing from B. B. King, soon making his first recordings as a sideman for Paul Williams & His Orchestra (on Jax Records) and for Big Red McHouston & His Orchestra, and under his then chosen moniker "Larry Dale" with a band that included Mickey Baker and pianist Champion Jack Dupree. Dale worked the New York club circuit with pianist Bob Gaddy. He also was a frequent session guitarist in the New York studios, playing on all four of Dupree's 1956-58 sessions for RCA's Groove and Vik subsidiaries, and on the best known Dupree LP, 1958's Blues from the Gutter, for Atlantic. His playing on that LP inspired Brian Jones ("Yeah! I have to play this… what a sound"). Dale made most of his best sides as a leader when the decade turned from the 1950s to the 1960s. For Glover Records he recorded the party blues "Let the Doorbell Ring" and "Big Muddy" in 1960, then revived Sticks McGhee's "Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee" in 1962 on Atlantic.
  • Larry Dale, eigentlich Ennis Lowery, ist ein afroamerikanischer Bluessänger und Gitarrist. Anfang der 1950er Jahre wurde Ennis Lowery vom Gitarrespiel B.B. Kings inspiriert. Bald darauf machte er erste Plattenaufnahmen, zunächst als Begleitmusiker von Bob Gaddy und Paul Williams (auf dem Jackson/Jax Label), mit Big Red McHouston & His Orchestra sowie unter dem inzwischen angenommenen Künstlernamen "Larry Dale" (für das RCA-Sublabel Groove Records) mit einer Band, der auch der Gitarrist Mickey Baker und der Pianist Champion Jack Dupree angehörten. Dale arbeitete mit dem Pianisten Bob Gaddy in den Clubs von New York, war aber auch ein gefragter Studiomusiker, der unter anderem bei allen vier 1956er bis 1958er Sessions von Dupree für die RCA-Sublabel Groove und Vik und auf dem bekanntesten Dupree-Album, dem 1958 für das Atlantic-Label eingespielten „Blues from the Gutter“ zum Einsatz kam. Seine Spielweise auf dieser LP hat Brian Jones begeistert („Yeah! I have to play this… what a sound“). Dale lieferte seine besten Aufnahmen zur Wende der 1950er zu den 1960er Jahren ab: Für Glover Records spielte er 1960 den Party-Blues „Let the Doorbell Ring“ und „Big Muddy“ ein, dann wiederbelebte er 1962 für Atlantic den Sticks-McGhee-Hit „Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee“.
