John McLaughlin: The Truth Comes Out
Dave Marsh, Creem, July 1970
IT IS amazing that John McLaughlin has not become more renowned than he already is. He's the most thoroughly progressive genius of that instrument ever. And at this point in rock history, when dynamite guitar players sell on the open market for much less than a dime a dozen, a person who has taken the instrument so far beyond traditional limitation would seem to be a godsend.
