Larry Jon Wilson - The Bigger The Fool

"The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall" is the opening song to Larry Jon Wilson's 4th Monument release from 1979, "Sojourner".

Larry Jon Wilson, a Georgia-born singer/songwriter, cut four LPs in the second half of the 1970s: New Beginnings, Let Me Sing My Song To You, Loose Change, Sojourner.

Larry Jon Wilson still performs occasionally and cut two great songs for the album "The Country Soul Revue - Testifying", produced by Dan Penn.

Update:
The new "unplugged" cd "Larry Jon Wilson" has been released on 1965 Records in July 2008.

James Endeacott, proprietor of record label 1965:
We've just signed a guy who's 70 years old -- Larry John Wilson -- who was mates with Kris Kristofferson in the '70s. He's not made a record in 28 years and he's just made one for us, just him and a guitar recorded in a room overlooking a beach in Florida, and it's heartbreaking.

I remember Larry Jon singing in my living room some 20 years ago, or so. He had the ability to make you think he was talking to just you. That feeling when I hear him, is in my chest and there just aren't words to describe how much I am blessed for having known him. He's an Angel that visits frequently...

I learned today that Larry Jon has died. He was a friend of a friend, and his first album played a big part in helping me through a tough time. May he rest in peace.
