This is another very good effort by Earl. Remastering is great with 1 bonus track. I would Recommend this over the old version.

I first heard Earl Klugh when he was the opening act for Bob James at the Lansing (Michigan) Civic Center in 1978. Although I didn't know of him at the time, I was immediately captivated by his talent. Unfortunately, a large number of his albums (back in the days when vinyl was king) released after this simply don't have the emotion that this CD has. A stellar ensemble of musicians was gathered in the studio for recording this CD in the mid '70s, including Steve Gadd, Will Lee, Louis Johnson, David Grusin etc. Patti Austin and Vivian Cherry are the vocalists on Living Inside Your Love. The first three tracks are fusion at its best. The balance of the tracks are more mellow, but have a geat sense of emotion, and are testament to Earl's tremendous talent. Other Earl Klugh CD I enjoy is Finger Paintings, which was recorded shortly after this one.

Initially, I think I liked the second half of this cd better from about the point of "Living Inside Your Love".. Prior to that it sometimes has a kind of easy listening/jazz samba feel as in songs like "Felicia". Song 1 "Captain Caribe" (among others) has that 70s jazz/funk feel.. which I liked more the 2nd time and actually I could say the same for all these numbers. Careful listening yields more than casual.

There are some fun acoustic solos over the steamy rhythm of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine. "The April Fools", an excellent track, melodic, soothing and probably the first piece that really got me interested in the album. This is the first wholly acoustic Klugh song on the album (and technically the last! although there's a very nice sometimes acoustic/sometimes samba medley bonus track after that which lasts for about 13 minutes).

Altogether, repeat listenings will be rewarding. Sometimes tepid, sometimes exciting (but mostly enjoyable like a fine liqueur) - so goes Living Inside Your Love. The more I hear it, the more I like it.
