Our Take

Larry Carlton, the name alone evokes images of smooth jazz, tranquil guitar riffs, and perhaps a mustache that could rival Tom Selleck's. In his album "Strikes Twice / Sleepwalk / Friends", Carlton delivers a melodic tour-de-force that will have you grooving in your seat faster than you can say "chill vibes only".

"Strikes Twice" kicks off the album with a funky, upbeat tempo that instantly transports you to a dimly lit jazz club in the heart of New York City. Carlton's guitar skills are on full display here, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies that will have you nodding your head in approval.

"Sleepwalk" takes a more mellow turn, with Carlton showcasing his softer side through gentle, soothing guitar chords that make you feel like you're floating on a cloud. The track is the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a late-night drive under the stars.

Lastly, "Friends" brings the album to a close with a laid-back, easygoing vibe that is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and content. Carlton's collaboration with other musicians on this track creates a sense of camaraderie and joy that is infectious.

Overall, "Strikes Twice / Sleepwalk / Friends" is a testament to Larry Carlton's unparalleled talent and ability to transport listeners to a world of pure musical bliss. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Carlton serenade you into a state of pure relaxation.
