Here's Larry Williams

Here's Larry Williams is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Larry Williams, released by Specialty Records in 1959. The album includes two of Williams's hit singles, "Short Fat Fannie" and "Bony Moronie", and also features the song "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy", which would later be covered by the Beatles.

Critical reception

AllMusic's Stewart Mason wrote of the album: "Listening to these tracks, it's clear why John Lennon was such a huge Larry Williams fan; his rough-and-ready no-bull voice is elastic enough to move from a Little Richard trill to a Ray Charles growl, and songs like 'Dizzy, Miss Lizzy' and 'Short Fat Fannie' are raucous enough to be punk rock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence."
