5.0 out of 5 stars The Reprise!, July 1, 2005

By

This review is from: Heart String (Audio CD)

I completely agree with A. Sloan's review. I first heard this album back in the 90s while going through my roomates vinyl records and decided to play it and instantly fell in love with the Heartstrings Reprise. This track alone is worth the price of admission. Now available on cd, I'm definitely going to purchase this one. Listening to the Reprise reminds me of the era when I found the vinyl album, when friends who are deceased now were around and life in my 20s was so footloose and fancy free. 10 years later hearing this track for the first time since then flooded my mind and heart with tremendous happy memories. Only now I'll really appreciate this masterpiece and will finally listen to the REST of it. Peace!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow, warm & romantic..., September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart String (Audio CD)

This is to me quite possibly one of the most ROMANTIC jazz guitar CDs ever made !! I have had it on LP for over 15 years and the CD version sounds fantastic !! Mr. Klugh's warmth and talent really shines here... it's perfect for those "special times" with a loved one, or if you just want to chill after a hard day at work...

Earl Klugh has made many good albums, but for me Heart String has such a warm, intimate feeling to it... every song touches your heart in a different way. It will always be my favorite !!

Anyone wishing for an escape from all the noise and negativity of this era might want to check out this "old school" mellow jazz classic... you won't be disappointed !!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Title for the Perfect CD, June 28, 2005

This review is from: Heart String (Audio CD)

I started playing guitar in the early 70's when I was in Junior High. When I started working at a record store 6 years later I finally learned what playing guitar really meant when I began listening to Earl Klugh. Heart String is a masterpiece. This album was my favorite and was best listened to staring out at the full moon on a crystal clear night on the beach with the one you love. (Especially Acoustic Lady I and Heart String Reprise) Earl Klugh is what excellence is all about. The mix of strings and orchestration with the ballads is magical and haunting and the percussion mix on the faster paced songs is reminiscent of the islands on Acoustic Lady II. I had never heard such a mix of styles before that time and see that it was considered jazz. His other CD's like "Late Night Guitar", Love Songs and Ballads are simply wonderful too, (I especially LOVE Christina on the Ballads CD!) but "Heart Strings" will always be special to me. It's like your first love, that holds a special place in your heart that you never forget and it changes everything for you.
