Album Review

Robert Taylor [allmusic.com]

By the time Larry Carlton recorded Friends, his status as a guitar legend had already been established. In addition to being admired by musicians, he was also loved by Muzak programmers. His blend of happy pop-jazz was the perfect background music for dentist offices. For those who care to listen closer, there is some excellent guitar work being performed. A good example of this would be his creative improvisation on the introduction to ''South Town.'' His duet with B.B. King on ''Blues for TJ'' is wonderful. It is refreshing to hear two players who are more interested in sharing ideas than showing off. The scat version of ''Tequila,'' courtesy of Al Jarreau, was also interesting. As with most Carlton recordings, there is something here for just about everyone; there's just not enough of it.
