For those of you interested in the smooth jazz-sound of Mr Carlton this record is a must. Combining a spicy fusionsound with the sensitivity that only "Mr 335" can produce "Kid Gloves" is really good value for money.

Apart from Last night which is more on the jazz side, this album is probably the best from Larry. It's a GRP album, which usually are not so great (in my opinion) but this effort has a particular sweetness that I expecially love. If you're gonna have a drive maybe with your top down, this is a perfect theme. A really sweet and warm one. Wonderful guitar sounds!

It's a great Larry Carlton CD. Anyone who knows of Larry Carlton would be very satisfied with this CD. Buy it and see for yourself.

Larry, as always, displays fine technical skill, fluency, and articulation, as well as the occasional tasty choice of notes however, there is just too much of that, "wonder how long I'll be on hold on the phone?" or "when's my floor coming in the elevator" sound about it. Certainly disappointing when you consider some of this artists fine achievements with the likes of Steely Dan etc.

I appreciate this album....but only because I respect Larry from his work with Steely Dan and his first two releases. A tremendous guitar player with limited song writing ability, who ought not to pick up an acoustic guitar. Despite the horrific cover to the album, Larry remains one of my favorites. This album is a must for dedicated fans, otherwise, keep your distance. Mullet.
