From a Terry McMillan fan.......2007-06-28

As a harmonica player and Terry McMillan fan I bought this CD to hear Terry in a different setting than I'm used to. He was, until his death in 2/07 at the age of 53, THE Nashville session harp player (he was also a percussionist and wonderful singer). He was also big on the Christian music circuit. Check out his videos on YouTube. He's incredible. His own Christian-based CDs are excellent. On this Larry Carlton CD Terry fits in well with the various blues/rock/jazzy grooves that Larry Carlton lays down. If you like Southern rock and roll you'll probably like this record and if you like jazz rock you will like it as well. Larry Carlton can definitely rock out. Fans of Terry McMillan might wish that he sang more and was turned up a bit more in the mix on the bluesier tunes. Blues harmonica players that don't know about Terry- check him out! Terry McMillan- God bless your soul.

Great for Carlton and blues fans .......2006-03-17

This is just a fun album, a long time coming for Carlton. Being a big fan of Sapphire Blue and his live work, I was happy to find that Renegade Gentleman really lets loose that live feel some of his gentler releases repress. "Sleep Medicine" and "Anthem" best showcase Carlton's technical ability while remaining musically interesting, but "Farm Jazz" is the the album's best track - it's a thoroughly upbeat and melodic piece that displays, within a tuneful boundary, Carlton's and McMillan's talent. "R.C.M." has a killer groove and lead melody, but, like a few of the tracks, it might lose listeners who are more interested in pop-structure than technique. That's what's interesting about Renegade Gentleman - its a southern-blues jam that is self-conscious; it's aware that it's a really a jazz session guitarist's experiment. This is part of the reason I enjoy this work - the phrasing and production are top-notch but the thematic effect is a bit "dirty". Of course, this may also be a reason why "true" blues fans may find it a little unsatisfying (though McMillan's presence should rectify this). My only big problem - the vocal tracks are awful.

Great Blues/Rock with Terrific Harp Playing from Terry McMillan.......2005-10-04

When I first heard the song "Cold Day in Hell," with Larry Carlton's powerfully soulful vocals and Terry McMillan's bone-crushing amplified harmonica, I knew I had to buy this CD! I'm glad I did. It's a great blend of blues and rock, and this is the first I've heard of harmonica player Terry McMillan. The guy's got serious harp chops! Consider me a new fan of both these great musicians.

THE BEST CARLTON IN MY COLLECTION.......2004-05-18

Untill now I had only heard the smooth jazz version of LARRY CARLTON and it always left me a bit cold. Yes he is a brilliant technician, but his material often lacked fire and soul. No such reservations here. THIS SIZZLES!!!.
Unexpected fire and passion plus his incredible technique, make this a stand out CD in any genre. While not being pure blues, it borrows some of the emotions from the BLUES and the musik of CARLTON is the better for it.
If you like the guitar or LARRY CARLTON specificaly, this should be in your collection.

Blues Duo!.......2002-08-16

On Renegade Gentleman, Larry Carlton joins with Terry McMillan for a Southern Rock affair with excellent blues overtones. Anyone familiar with Carlton knows that he is ever changing and always growing as a guitarist. Whether it's an acoustic outing such as "Alone But Never Alone" or "Minute by Minute", electric pop such as "Kid Gloves" or in combination with other greats such as Steve Lukather, you usually get something a little different and more refined with each release. This time out, Carlton has joined with Terry McMillian and has gone in yet another direction. McMillian is a blues harpist that has played with Neil Young, Ray Charles and Jerry Lee Lewis to name but a few. His style is reminiscent of Little Walter or John Mayall and he blows with authority. To ensure the proper blues flavor, Double Trouble's Chris Layton appears on drums for five of the discs eleven numbers. All original compositions and the combination here is potent and extremely satisfying.
