ellyssianTo my shame, this is the first Larry Carlton disc in my collection. Not the first I've heard - that honor goes to one long forgotten that I borrowed from rotation in Fishman Transducers' phone music. If I recall correctly, that earlier disc had a fairly country music vibe - all instrumental, but definitely blues-tinged country. Unless, of course, I'm confusing Larrys - Carlton and Coryell. Both talented, heard them both before, and still don't have any Larry Coryell in my collection.
This recording has a more electric edge. This is bluesy, rock guitar. With horns, in places. And heaviness in others. Big Trouble? It shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. Kind of like some of the rock kids listen to these days, except better. It's almost a shock when it comes in, all muddy and crunchy.
Overall, a very impressive album. Highly recommended for any guitar player or blues buff. Since I could never pick a single "Best Of" winner, I'd certainly consider this one of the best rock instrumentals, blues discs, and R&B discs.
This is how it's done. Right.
