Search - Larry Cordle, Lonesome Standard Time :: All Star Duets

Eastern Kentucky native Larry Cordle officially began his career back in 1985, when,
at the urging of Ricky Skaggs, he made the big move to Nashville. However, he
already had a leg up in that Cordle was already a hit songwriter thanks to Skaggs
recording "Highway 40 Blues", which spent several weeks at number one in 1983.
At last count, Cordle s songs have appeared on projects that have sold a combined
total of more than 55 million records by artists such as Skaggs, Alison Krauss,
Rhonda Vincent, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire,
Diamond Rio, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins and many others, several of whom have
joined him on this special All Star Duets project!
Though songwriting took Larry to Nashville, his desire to perform never waned. With
his band, Lonesome Standard Time, Cordle has the perfect platform to share his
music with fans everywhere. The band has been awarded song of the year by the
International Bluegrass Music Association on two separate occasions, garnered two
Grammy nominations for best bluegrass album, received nominations for vocal
group and instrumental group, landed #1 slots on the Bluegrass and Americana
charts and gained the respect of their peers and had many accolades during their
existence. In addition to his songwriting and role as a bandleader, Cordle is sometimes
featured as a lead and/or background vocalist on some of Nashville s most
awarded and popular music. He s provided harmony vocals for artists such as Garth
Brooks, Blake Shelton, Bradley Walker, Billy Yates, Rebecca Lynn Howard and
co-writing pal, Jerry Salley.
Cordle remains extremely active in all facets of his career. He regularly records and
tours in the US, and occasionally abroad, with Lonesome Standard Time, as well
as solo. Larry is also still first and foremost a songwriter, now writing independently
for his own company, Wandachord Music, and he has released his last two albums
on his own MightyCord Records.
