5.0 out of 5 stars "WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LOVE...", March 4, 2001

put on "Late Night Guitar," Earl Klugh's masterpiece, to set the mood off right. Songs like "Tenderly," "Mona Lisa," "Like a Lover," and my favorite, "I'll Never Say Goodbye (The Promise)" put one in a state of pure relaxation and a desire to be with the one you love. Earl's playing is so melodic and filled with so much emotion, you're completely taken in by his artistry. From first song to last, you're hooked. The flow of this CD is simply beautiful. One of my favorite periods in Jazz is the '70's and some of the best artists (Noel Pointer, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn to name a few)who came out of that era of Jazz-Fusion continue to be my favorites. Earl is one of them. I've got a lot of his work and this is what I consider a classic. A must have for Earl Klugh fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT INSTRUMENTAL BLISS, December 10, 1999

The relaxed and sensuous playing of Earl Klugh and friends is so intoxicating you really get lost -- time drifts by and you pour another glass of wine. This record does a lot of things all at once -- it evokes a simpler time, with its inclusion of so many standards, played with sweetness and even sorrow, and it has a fresh, breezy air about it, that makes it addictive. Of all of the perfectly realized arrangements, my personal favorite is LIKE A LOVER, which is the most beautiful single instrumental track I own. I have fallen in love to it, broken up to it, regained hope to it, given it to my mother on Mother's Day, and use it as the soundtrack to the many, many places in the world I have been fortunate enough to go. If I were lucky enough to have my own heart's soundtrack at the moments when I FELT the most, it would be this record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Late Night Euphoria!, June 23, 2000

If you are a music fan who believes that music can lift you up from the depths of despair to emotional highs of euphoria, this is one CD you should not miss."Like a Lover" is sad and nostalgic, yet it soars to the point of anchoring you among the clouds. As the title suggests, this should be played late at night or in the wee hours, when the mind and the spirit is uncluttered. Close your eyes, and let Klugh's smooth melodies soothe your tired and weary mind.
