 Look for Lari in the upcoming "Love Don't Let Me Down" starring Gwynneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw!

"Gwynneth plays a famous country singer, and I play her HAIRSTYLIST, getting her all glammed up for her big comeback show. It's kind of a tense scene, and at a critical moment I get to scream! I channeled all my training as a singer into it...it's really the highlight of the film."

UK Review - ''One That Got Away'' 2004

Green Eyed Soul

When Green Eyed Soul was released in Britain last May, it represented a feat of willpower for Lari White. She'd already released some country albums in Nashville, but feeling increasingly uncomfortable with Music City's crossover-bimbo stereotype, White retreated to record the music she felt comfortable making, initially releasing the album on her own Skinny WhiteGirl label.

Pop: Great White hope

Take one fed-up country singer and a tub of hair dye, mix them together and what do you get? A soul-singing sensation, says Robin Eggar

To make a great soul album requires more than just a voice. It demands emotions actually lived: to have experienced pain and longing, love and lust, triumph and despair. Which is why the finest soul album this year comes not from Devon’s teen prodigy Joss Stone, but from Lari White

"Don't Fence Me In" Entertainment Weekly review

Album: 
Don't Fence Me In
Post Date: 
February 2, 1996

If Lari White's 1993 debut album, Lead Me Not, displayed her wide-ranging country-pop talent, and her second, Wishes, took the commercial route, her third, Don't Fence Me In, now attempts to marry artistic vision and mainstream success with a collection of spunky songs that send a message: Go for broke, especially in love. Stylistically she's all over the place, but convincingly, borrowing equally from Tammy Wynette, Pam Tillis, and even a bit from Michelle Shocked. B+

All Music Review of "Lead Me Not"

Album: 
Lead Me Not
Post Date: 
April 4, 1995

4/5 STARS
White's ambitious debut covered a lot of musical territory, from straight country ("Where the Lights Are Low") to torch ballad ("Just Thinking"), from Latin-flavored pop ("Made to Be Broken") to fervid gospel ("Good Good Love"). The breadth of her talent turned out to be something of a problem. Since nobody could get a handle on her, none of the album's three singles ("What a Woman Wants," "Lead Me Not," and "Lay Around and Love on You") broke the Top 40.
