Bay Area husband-and-wife duo Larry Hanks and Deborah Robins choose great old songs and sing them in a straightforward way that gets right to the essence of the music. Chicago Magazine credits Larry with "some of the best interpretations of Bruce Phillips, Malvina Reynolds, and Woody Guthrie to be heard anywhere." Inspired by the music of Leadbelly, Sam Hinton, as well as Guthrie, Larry has been singing classic songs for more than 50 years, topical and political songs, cowboy and work songs, sad ballads and rollicking romps, bringing out the shine with his rough-hewn bass vocals, tastefully spare guitar accompaniments, and the occasional virtuosic riff on the Jew's harp. Deborah's lovely harmonies round out the sound beautifully, so that each song feels full, complete, yet uncluttered. They've collaborated on three albums including 2013's, The Wheel of Time, a great collection performed with charm, depth, and tenderness.
