 (3 Customer Reviews)
Carlton's debut was 1968's With a Little Help From My Friends, a respectable if not boring effort of him playing popular songs of the time. As the guitarist for the Crusaders, he helped to personify their commercial and fulfilling West Coast sound from 1971-1976. During the end of his tenure, it seemed like the group was limiting what he could do on his own. In many respects, Larry Carlton renews the artist. Unlike many efforts of the time, Carlton enlists a small, accomplished band with bassist Abe Laboriel, drummer Jeff Porcaro, and Greg Mathieson on keyboards. "Room 335," an ode to the studio in L.A. where this was recorded, all but sets the stage for the style of his early solo work. "Nite Crawler," a track Carlton originally did with the Crusaders for Free As the Wind, shows up here. In this version, Carlton's lines replace Wilton Felder's sax lead and this is better than original. The album's best track, the exhilarating "Rio Samba," is a more muscular take on the work Lee Ritenour did at the time as Carlton hits amazing notes, aided by Mathieson's keyboard work. The last track, "(It Was) Only Yesterday" has Carlton's inimitable style of doing a disconsolate song with the emotion of his guitar providing a catharsis. Larry Carlton is a self-production and was a great way for Carlton to again do solo work. ~ Jason Elias

Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering Studios West, North Hollywood, California).
Although it omits three songs from the far less comprehensive (and deleted) 1983 12-track Best Of, and doesn't include any live or post-A&M music, this 2000 release stands as the final word on the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' career. Cherry-picking 21 tunes from their five studio album stint circa 1974-1978 -- with the lion's share coming from their first three albums and ...

Larry Carlton
$12.79
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils' third album for A&M continues their good-natured Southern chooglin' with hints of a newfound mid-70s AM pop vibe. Although it was recorded in Nashville, The Car Over the Lake Album has a distinctly Californian vibe on several tracks, particularly those written and sung by drummer Larry Lee, whose contributions could ride along "Ventura Highway" with any of America's recordings. Despite this warm Beach Boys influence, the album is still a Southern rocker, evident on "Keep on Churning," "Leatherwood," and the slightly goofy "Gypsy Forest." The hard-rockin' push of "If You Want to Get to Heaven" is nowhere to be found on this album, but the laid-back porch-sittin' hum of "From Time to Time" and the spectacular "If I Only Knew" acts as an acceptable substitute. ~ Zac Johnson

| | Red Cotton Memory Card CD (2007) (Import)
Larry Carlton
$18.55
In 2006, a year before the realese of Memory Card, Red Cotton realeased an EP/demo calledThe Red Cotton - Dead End.it featured 3 tracks:euphoria, civilzation amd I hate to be alive.all of which have been remade for the debut album - Memory Card.This is a review on the Red Cotton's EP, takenfrom Subculture Magazine - London:Every so often when you think you cant be surprised by music any more, there will come along some little know band you least expect, catching you off guard. And the bite delivered by THE RED COTTON was literally so hard it made me exclaim. And an exclamation of joy it was, mind you. I still cant get over how amazing the Dead End EP is because it just isnt what you would expect a band of this era to make.The Red Cotton make music with such mastery that Im sure if Ian Curtis were here now, hed be a fan. No kidding. On first listen its obvious this band which hails from Israel is in fact highly influenced by Joy Division – but, and this is the part to take note of: Unlike the multitude of bands out there who take the term "influence" to mean "copy and paste", The Red Cotton take a smattering of Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cure and even Depeche Mode – all in terms of their general sound, but then infuse it with their very own style of self-despair and pessimistic outlook on life.The first track, "Euphoria" is, unlike what the title might suggest, only a semi-happy song, with a mid-tempo rhythm of western guitars – just think of a mesh up between "Atrocity Exhibition" and "Just Cant Get Enough". It is certainly the only one that hints a certain degree of happiness, perhaps a preparation for the audience to the extreme self-flagellation to follow.The next track is "Civilization" – and just one listen tells me this is a song that is going to be a classic in time to come, no question about that. The guitars that start off set the mood from the beginning, a delicate build up of mixed emotion. But when the opening line of How do I set myself free? is uttered, you know hopelessness is the central theme to this beautiful song. Simply a 10 stars out of 5 kind of song – i.e. the kind that comes around once every decade.By the time you reach to the third track, "I Hate To Be Alive", you will be convinced The Red Cotton are THE next big thing to come. This reminds me a lot of "Day Of The Lords", the way the song is composed: The build up of the slow drums, the ominous sound of the recurring rhythm of the guitar, the melancholy vocals that by the fourth minute of the six minute song, bursts into a life of its own, only again to become subdued… and somehow leaving me hanging, to draw my own conclusions about what happens next. This song is an emotional rollercoaster, starting with extreme sadness that builds to uncontrolled anger, which then subdues to a certain depthless despair. From lyrics that go from I need to run away to fly to I dont know what Ive got to ending with At times Im laying in my bed reflecting my problems from end to end, it is an epic story the band have somehow managed to tell in the short six minutes.In fact, according to the band, the title of this EP expresses the feeling that they have reached a dead end with what they can achieve in Israel ...
