First of all...you're to be congratulated for "HITTIN' A HUGE HOME RUN" at your concert on 9-14! What a great program you put together.
The sound was awesome; and, your creative energy in telling some wonderful stories about your own life was wonderful.
The part that knocked me out, Larry, was the way you described the light of God shining through your wife's eyes. I think that was a very beautiful story and a GREAT song.
The vocals by Mary Lou were terrific; and, I enjoyed hearing both "Daves" sing and play. I can see this program being a very effective one for your calling, Larry. The spirit shines within you! It was and will continue to be a wonderful program for people of all ages. A very stress free and warming afternoon.

Larry, It was pure joy and blessing to have you share your music and testimony at our community group. God's hand in your choice of material was evident as I found myself tearing up in a couple of songs, nodding to others and even chuckling with one. I very much appreciate your heart for God and your willingness to be so powerfully used by Him... Thank you, thank you.

I love the guitar...you knew I would! The words convey so many divine messages. One central message is each person's discovery and decision not to go through life alone.."I sing but I don't rhyme" and "a recovered soul is the only goal of a completed life"
Many of your songs speak of God's will for all...the connectiveness of our hearts to God's heart thus producing a visible outreach of love to others. He's only a prayer away and His presence often produces "a good cry". My favorite song is the title song and favorite line "the love that grows is the love that flows right from Your heart".
Life is about choices. I enjoy how you encourage us to choose love, choose goodness, choose change, choose God and Jesus, choose the relationship thus choosing life. I suggest to each person, choose to own this CD...it will speak to 'your heart'.!

I really like "Give Me Courage." The nice calming guitars, your unique voice, the cool electric, and the good message.

I just reviewed your CD and I was so surprised at the style and sound. The prose was very intimate. Some songs were almost like standing outside someone's door and overhearing him in conversation with God.
Others were like eaves-dropping in on a dialogue between friends. It couldn't have been impromptu, but it almost seemed that fresh.
I had expected something far more traditional and structured, and that would have been fine, too - but this comes right from the heart and soul. I hope you continue to create!

I just wanted to congratulate you on your fantastic album. I believe
the most important element of good music is honesty...
and your album is about as genuine as they come. It positively drips with soul,
emotion, and faith and the listener can't help but get caught up in it.
I don't know what your influences are but I heard a lot of great artists coming through your music, including Nick Drake, Jim Croce, and Bob Dylan. Mostly, though, I heard Larry Rossi.
I'm not a religious man, but I am a pretty spiritual guy, and your declaration of faith and love are truly inspiring. Keep making music, man.

I have listened to your CD to and from work a couple times...it is awesome...the songs flowed so nicely together - the words and music fit together so nicely and your playing was great...it fit the songs perfectly...I thought your vocals were an honest truthful expression of the message...it was a wonderful honest cohesive expression, straight from the heart...or should I say "Your Heart."
And of course a couple of songs hit me right in the face too, but in a good way.

Wow, what a great CD!!! Well done!!! I transferred it to my ipod so I can listen to it when I'm driving...
Thank you so much... it's more like receiving a gift than hearing a disc... thank you for sharing.

My wife and I both think “Your Heart” is a great CD, loving, faith-filled messages set to pleasant relaxing music and performed with feeling. . . “Don’t miss your chance” to Tell Someone and recognize Jesus in others are just two of
the many relevant messages about relationships. We also liked the twangy guitar on The Other Side.

WOW!!! I've never heard anything like this CD before. The words, the music, the thoughts it invokes. Thank you Larry. Choir was never like this.

"Other Side" sounds urgent and a bit dark, and when Rossi sings "If you don't catch a thing where you're at/put your net to the other side", you believe he's following his own advice.

To me, the real beauty is that Truth is presented in these songs without any hint of accusation or condemnation. But Truth it is----make no mistake. Larry minces no words yet they are infused with love, understanding and compassion. There's just no way to be offended by Truth when it's presented this way. It hits its mark every time.

Almost everyone can use a little reminder of God’s compassion and love, and Mr. Rossi’s compositions fit the bill. His deep faith is evident in his music, yet he avoids preaching. Instead, he conducts a dialogue with his listener — a true connection is formed between him and his audience. Mr. Rossi uses his songs as a vehicle for the expression of God’s love and his compositions serve as sources of inspiration and faith.

Music that is sung from the heart that speaks to the soul! Each song is like a separate movement to a classical symphony. . .an encyclopedia of feelings, music and intellect.

I have had an opportunity to listen to this music for about a month now, and one thing that is a recurring theme to me, these songs are just like an old friend. Each time I listen, I hear something else, from an arranging or lyrical perspective, these songs are very thought provoking.

I have listened to Your Heart and I think it is great! As a Georgia fan I have submitted a copy to the local churches here. The reviews I have gotten are that the guitar is some of the best around. Tell Someone has reached the hearts of many. We will have the CD on the Georgia Radio Stations soon! God Bless to all.

For This I Pray — great guitar
introductions — a message of surrender to God's will — my vote for most inspired lyrics: "By placing this singer second to your sweet sweet song" — middle guitar solo seems to be "thinking things through" musically — for me the song is about living the talk and walking the walk!
