The Little Red Rooster band has found tremendous success in their recording efforts. Their first release, Philadelphia to Memphis, received national recognition within the blues community. Their second release, Livin’ Large, was released in July 1997 and received tremendous reviews from fans and followers alike. The band’s follow-up to Livin’ Large was Broke Again, which went on to receive tremendous praise from fans. That recording sparked a featured article in American Harmonica News magazine.

In 2013, the band went back into the studio after many years and brought old bandmates together again for a marathon recording session for Sip It, Don’t Kick It.
