"There are two reasons this record is a rebirth for one of the great guitarists of our time. The first, of course, is Carlton. His playing here is more direct, raw and emotional than anything he's laid down recently. The second is his producer, Csaba Petocz. A veteran producer, Petocz has spent time in the studio with Ted Nugent, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Etta James and Elvis Costello. He's comfortable with hard-core, no-holds-barred, soulful blues and snarling rock & roll. And after attending one of Carlton's concerts, Petocz couldn't wait to get into the studio with him. "Look, Larry is one of the great rock players of all time," he declares. "But when you mention his name now, people think of him as a smooth jazz player. Nothing at all wrong with that, but when you see him live it's amazing how powerful he is when he just rocks out. So I began thinking: does the world really need another jazz record? Probably not; what it needs is to rediscover the rock & roll side of Larry Carlton."" (Guitar9)
