Review
by Robert Taylor
Sleepwalk
is slightly better than Strikes Twice thanks in part to the absence of
Larry Carlton's toneless singing. "Last Nite" and "10:00 P.M." have
become staples in Carlton's live set. The legendary Carlton feel is
evident throughout this session, but "Blues Bird" stands as the
high-water mark. "Sleepwalk" is played beautifully, almost preventing
the listener from noticing the sap-heavy strings in the background.
Carlton's faceless rhythm section does little to enhance the music (as
is usually the case with his solo efforts), but his playing more than
makes up for this. Despite sounding a bit dated, this is still worth
exploring, especially for guitarists.

Reseña
por Robert Taylor
Sleepwalk
es ligeramente mejor que Strikes Twice gracias, en parte, a la ausencia
de la tonalidad de Larry Carlton al cantar. "Last Nite" y "10:00 P.M."
se han convertido en elementos básicos del directo de Carlton. El
legendario sentimiento de Carlton es evidente a lo largo de esta sesión,
pero "Blues Bird" es el punto culminante. "Sleepwalk" se interpreta
maravillosamente, casi impidiendo que el oyente se percate de las
cuerdas de fondo. La sección rítmica sin rostro de Carlton hace poco
para mejorar la música (como suele ser el caso de sus esfuerzos en
solitario), pero su forma de tocar lo compensa con creces. A pesar de
sonar un poco anticuado, sigue mereciendo la pena explorarlo,
especialmente para los guitarristas.
