John McLaughlin - John McLaughlin
Review by AB Surfboard Repair
John McLaughlin's self-titled album is a testament to the legendary guitarist's virtuosity and innovation. The album showcases McLaughlin's mastery of various guitar styles, from the intricate fingerpicking on "Blue in Green" to the blistering fusion on "New York on My Mind."
The album also features a stellar cast of musicians, including bassist Victor Wooten, drummer Dennis Chambers, and keyboardist Gary Husband. Together, they create a dynamic and electrifying sound that is both complex and accessible.
One standout track is "El Hombre Que Sabia," which features McLaughlin's intricate guitar work layered over a driving Latin rhythm. Another highlight is "The Dolphin," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases McLaughlin's softer side.
