Although guitarist Larry Carlton is known primarily as a smooth-jazz performer, both solo and with Fourplay, his roots are in session work with pop/rock artists, most notably Steely Dan and Joni Mitchell. On 2006's FIREWIRE, Carlton gets back to his rock beginnings, offering up a set of tunes that focus on the energetic side of his playing. Aiding Carlton in this musical about-face is producer Csaba Petocz, who has been in the studio with acts such as Elvis Costello and Metallica, and here leads the six-stringer in a bold, assertive direction. Also joined by prolific drummer Matt Chamberlain and other top-tier musicians, Carlton leans into the shuffling "Inkblot 11," indulges in Jimi Hendrix-like riffing on "Naked Truth," and sinks into a deep blues groove with "Surrender." More in line with albums by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai than anything in the easy-listening vein, FIRE WIRE highlights the adventurous aspects of this expert guitarist.Down Beat (p.73) - "[He] uncorks riffs on self-penned instrumentals that generate drama ranging from serene awe to brash exhilaration."
JazzTimes (p.86) - "[E]ven when Carlton's guitar is dripping with nasty distortion...it still cuts through with emotional directness."

5 stars Larry Carlton returns to rock
Larry Carlton has lost none of his originality as he returns to his early rock roots on this album.He plays with sparkle and is ably supported by some excellent musicians. If you like melodic rock guitar, then you'll like this album.

5 stars What a Great CD!
This CD is outstanding! It falls somwhere between intrumental rock and fusion. The tunes are good, and all the playing is top notch. Larry shows he can play heavy and yet be more tasteful than most instrumental rock guitarists. A materful album form a guitar master. If you are really into the smooth side of smooth jazz, you probably will not like it. But if you like real music played by skilled musicians, buy it now!

5 stars This CD is actually very good
Plenty of solo artists have made a CD showing their ability to step outside of their normal genre. This is that CD for Larry Carlton. I've been a fan since album one and this CD is the funky rock side of Larry. He's done this before on a jazzier note, but this is definitely more rock than jazz. Any fan of good guitar (bass and/or drums) music will enjoy this CD. He's a great guitar player and this CD highlights his continuing ability to astound. Buy it.

5 stars Playing with Heart and Fire
After years of limp releases like Fingerprints, The Gift or any of Fourplay's bland offerings, Larry Carlton's last two releases, Sapphire Blue and this new one Firewire, show him playing with heart and a fire that has been lacking for a long time. This is what he does best. Also checkout Eight Times Up. If you like your guitar playing limp then avoid this but for people who were fans of Larry back in the 70's and 80's this is a return to glory.
