This album is one of Earl's best, which is quite a feat. I went to see Earl perform with his band last Friday night here in Atlanta and was entertained for over 3 hours with songs from several of his albums, including Naked Guitar. If you've never seen him perform you are missing a definite treat. His band is amazing, Lenny Price, David Lee (Spradley), Al Turner, all were in rare form (as usual) and shared several solo spots with Earl. His humor between songs left the audience in stitches as he shared a more intimate side. He signed my copy of "Heartstrings" afterwards as he shared some trivia about the song "Balladina" from his album "Crazy for You", and how it relates to a song performed by Angela Bofill on one of her early albums. Earl Klugh is a definite jewel of a person and entertainer and an extremely talented trailblazer.
