Larry Sparks - Thank You Lord / This World Is Not My Home

(Old Homestead OHM-5010) 1972


Thank You Lord

This is a rare single coupling Thank You Lord from Larry's debut Old Homestead LP Bluegrass Old And New, and the old evergreen This World Is Not My Home. The non-LP 'B' side was probably recorded in the same 6 hour session as the Bluegrass Old And New LP, and was later included on the Early & Essential Vol. 2 LP.

The labels for this 45 don't mention a catalogue number, but I've assumed it should be "5010" as that's how the single is listed in Charley Pennell's Bluegrass Discography.

The single was reviewed in the June 1973 edition of 'Bluegrass Unlimited', so may have been released in that year, rather than 1972...
