Realizing how rusty my tropical island beach days had grown, found myself out wandering alone, naming Mandalas after really old songs, chose the perfect title for one … thus “Tequila Sunrise” was shown with the wrong name of the Band …

Thank you so much! I had this album in vinyl and almost wore it out without really keying in on his excellent guitar work. The Larry Carlton solo you played brought to mind some of the riffs in Jeff Beck’s Freeway Jam on his Blow By Blow album (YMMV). Thanks again, I have never played guitar, but listening to the folks over the years that you highlighted have informed my heart and soul. Cheers!

Indeed, the engineers really buried his guitar part, but that seems to be fairly uniform in the "Adult Contemporary" genre. Alas, many of those artists are damn fine musicians, you just wouldn't know it from what gets airplay.

I should have said thanks to Rick Beato for doing the work and to you for sharing it with us. Thanks again!

How do you find this stuff! Very cool. Rick Beato was very interesting. I had no idea I liked Yacht Rock. 😂✌️

It's just pop music, not particularly creative or original. Sounds like lots of other stuff released in the late 70s.

Not creative music by any means.
