At the core of Larry Joe Taylor’s talent is songwriting. In 1988 he was a finalist in the famous Kerrville New Folk competition. With the exception of two songs, Taylor has written or co-written all the material on his recordings. A slew of other artists have cut his tunes as well, including Jerry Jeff Walker, the Lost Gonzo Band, Gary P. Nunn, Michael Hearne & South by Southwest, Joe Pat Hennen, Mike Graham, Doc Wesson, Tommy Alverson, Brian Burns, and several others.

Larry Joe performs with his band and acoustically with other songwriters. Most notable songwriting circles include shows with Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Rusty Wier, Terri Hendrix, Pat Green, Chris Wall, Bob Livingston, Keith Sykes and Brian Burns. He has opened for Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keene, Guy Clark, Radney Foster and Lari White.

Larry Joe is also a music promoter and festival producer. Since 1989 he's hosted LJT's Texas Music Festival, one of the largest in the state. In 1998 he initiated an annual Island Time Festival in Port Aransas, Texas with the same musical format. He also owns his own record company, Boat Folk Records, and the Texribbean Publishing Company.
