With his sister
Lorrie, guitarist and singer
Larry Collins was part of the brother-sister duo
the Collins Kids, who cut some of the best rockabilly of the 1950s. Playing a double-neck guitar,
Collins was a brilliant guitar prodigy, and took time to cut some hot instrumental duets with mentor
Joe Maphis, a country guitarist 20 years his senior. The Collins Kids broke up when
Lorrie married, and
Larry cut some undistinguished diluted rockabilly-pop before drifting back, like so many early rockabilly singers, to country music. As a songwriter, his most famous credit is co-penning "Delta Dawn." ~ Richie Unterberger
