Earl Klugh - The Best of Earl Klugh

The Best of Earl Klugh is a fine, 15-track sampler of the guitarist's work for Warner Brothers. He was at the label during the late '80s and '90s, during which time his pretty acoustic music gained quite a bit of popularity. Even if some dedicated fans may find a favorite or two missing, there isn't a bad song on this collection, and it works as a good overview of or introduction to the most popular period of his career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
