Seņor! I never thought I'd be reunited with this album in this thread.
Hahahaha thanks! +1 sa acoustic version of the Lord's Prayer on that album.
Taste over technique - though honestly - Carlton's technique will always blow us anytime of the day. I still am stuck with Room 335 though it has already been in our playlist for sometime.
I'm old school, and i won't be ashamed to admit - Rex Goh's solos with classic Air Supply kills, and the following studio guys that also kill in a span of four to eight measures:
Steve Lukather.
Michael Landau.
Dann Huff.
Their session works are all over the place. Google 'em.
Hey bro,
the studio guys will ALWAYS be the killers
i'm on a larry carlton / robben ford / pat martino binge, and "Last Nite" and "Renegade Gentlemen" further affirmed my respevt for LC. A perfect mating of tone, technique and feel. I also got my hands and ears on "Sapphire Blue", pretty happening stuff.
If you can kill in a matter of four to eight measures, you've got some happenin's [gooey brown stuff]. Thats the goal for all of us
Also re-stumbled on Michael Lee Firkins again, he's commanded my attention.
Oh, cant dismiss Landau's solo on Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth". And Dean Park's on Clair Marlo's work (with the late great Jeff Porcaro on drum on the Let It Go album!
)
