After almost twenty years of writing, recording, producing music and fronting such bands as The Punters and The 8 Track Favourites Larry Foley has emerged to put his stamp on a body of work which is quickly establishing him as a solo performer. \u201cCome Along With Me Bys\u201d a new compilation is a reflection of his roots and his love of a good song. The album features a new song \u201cBoats To Build\u201d as well as many Newfoundland standards. Included on this CD are 3 songs from the pen of Ron Hynes \u201cSonny\u2019s Dream”, “St. John\u2019s Waltz” & \u201cBack Home On The Island\u201d Ron was a good friend of Larry, and his rendition of these songs would make Ron proud. The vast majority of these songs are very well known in Newfoundland, such as \u201cSignal Hill\u201d, \u201cNewfoundland Blessing\u201d, “Fisherman\u2019s Boy\u201d, \u201cFiddler\u2019s Green\u201d & \u201cA Couple More Years\u201d. \u201cGulf Of Mexico\u201d a Steve Earle song describes the perils of drilling in the ocean for oil, as we saw in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and is poignant to Newfoundland as we have oil drilling in the ocean off Newfoundland. \u201cRamblin\u2019 Boy\u201d is a tribute to Larry\u2019s friend Dermot O\u2019Reilly of the band \u201cRyan\u2019s Fancy\u201d who unfortunately passed away way too early.<\/p>\n
