5.0 out of 5 stars Earl Klugh's Masterpiece!, March 4, 2000

This has always been one of my favorite disks -- a breakthrough for Klugh. I bought this album on vinyl when it first came out in he '70s, and later purchased the CD. It's truly magical ... to my ears its music never grows old or tiresome. The supporting group of musicians, including Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, and Steve Gadd, et al., are superb. This is Klugh at his very best!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Finger Paintings" ranks among Klugh's best work..., August 3, 1998

By A Customer

Thanks to its uptempo, Spanish guitar style, "Dr. Macumba" stacks up as one of Klugh's most compelling compositions. Those who enjoy "Dr. Macumba" will most likely find "Cabo Frio" and "Jolanta" among the CD's highlights, as well. "Long Ago And Far Away" is a pleasant, thoughtful take on a James Taylor tune, while "Dance With Me" is an equally appropriate remake of the Orleans hit. For anyone who does not own any of Klugh's albums, "Finger Paintings" is a strong starting point.

This review is from: Finger Painting (Audio CD)

This collection is an exemplary sample of this artist's technical as well artistic virtousity. These compositions have earned him many royalties as well as enriching Mr.Klugh artistically. Finger Paintings, Dr. Macumba, and the other compositions penned by Earl Klugh have achieved cult status. Though not not widely known by the general public, you have no doubt heard his music on television shows and elevators the world over. His playing has a Segovia-like ring that absorbs the listener in a subtle and mysterious manner. The special gold recordings may be just a gimmick to get you to pay extra for what essentially sounds like a regular CD, audiophiles notwithstang, I would go for the regular CD. But, if you have a $1500+ stereo and and nothing better to do with your money, then by all means, enjoy!!!
