A mellow mainstream fusion classic from the 70s – one that paired the gentle guitar of
Earl Klugh with the sweet keyboards of
Bob James – in a set that's filled with plenty of warm and laidback touches! The mode here takes off some of the darker edges from
James'
earlier sound, and softens it nicely with
Klugh's colorful approach to the guitar – a slightly tropical mode at times, and one that dances breezily along with help from Ralph MacDonald, Ron Carter, Harvey Mason, and Gary King. Titles include the lovely "Mallorca", plus "I'll Never See You Smile Again", "Kari", "The Afterglow", "Love Lips", and "Winding River".
(Cover looks great, with just a small corner bump.)
