His music first became popular in the 60's with the Jesus movement. His influences appear to be Black Gospel, Blues and Rock & Roll.
However, his message that 'Jesus is what makes this mess of a world all make sense' did not go over well with the secular world. As well, with his clear prophetic voice that the church doesn't have the answers, cut his music from most main stream Christians.
So far, a small cult like following has emerged and continues to purchase his music and fill his concerts even though it's been over 20 years since he put any music out on a major label. Larry currently produces and sells all his music himself.
And yet the stories of how his songs changed peoples lives are increadable. I as well have found Larry's music to be like the voice of God in my time of trouble.
Here is one of his first albums for you to listen to as well as a couple of his latest. And in efforts to not be a distribution place of free Larry Norman music the quality, although fine for listening through computer speakers is still 16 bit, mono and sounds awful if you want to make a CD.
So, listen to his music, even with dial-up you can listen to the songs as they loadup, and if you like his stuff, buy it!
