Larry Carlton

Like so many other Los Angeles studio musicians, guitarist and composer Larry Carlton was faced with a choice a number of years back: whether to go solo and develop a name for himself under his own name or to continue the less risky, more lucrative existence as a session guitarist, making good money and recording with prominent musicians. Fortunately for fans of this eclectic guitarist, he chose the former, and has recorded under his own name for Warner Bros., MCA Records and GRP Records since 1978.

With an immediately arresting sound, starting with the voice and the lyrics it carries but swiftly leading to rumbling bass clarinet growls, delicate cello plucks, swooping guitar slides and crashing percussion slaps, The Magic Lantern excel at wringing emotion from the strangest places...

The Maladies Of Bellafontaine

In January 2006 a coquettish little Welsh girl and her swarthy Spanish lover rustled up a blueprint which appeared to provide a solution to the world’s insipid musical malaise. Acoustic assistance was required and so the pair hopped atop the nearest hillside, bellowing to the heavens their request for likeminded hairy helpers. The clarion call was responded to by a quartet of tousled troubadours and The Maladies of Bellafontaine were forged.
