"THEY WERE COMPLETE PACKAGE"
Key Dan axeman Larry Carlton on energy, sophistication and Third World Man.
“In 1975, I’d arranged rhythm tracks for Joan Baez’s album
Diamonds & Rust.
Walter heard it, and called me to play on
Katy Lied.
I did two takes on Bad Sneakers. Donald was at the console, and said, ‘Do you know how many guys we had come in and play that part? We’re finished!’ That showed me we agreed on what music could be between us. Later I asked Walter, How’d you guys happen to call me? He said, ‘I’m not a Joan Baez fan, but I wanted to hear the guy that could make her sound that good.’
