Great album, love the diversity. Would have loved some saxes doubling on some of the melodies though as the nylon string guitar came across a little thin on some tracks. Nice one.

I have been listening to Earl Klugh since the mid seventies. He has a distinct style of playing the guitar. His music gets better within each passing year. I enjoyed this album immensely.

I've been a fan of Earl Klugh's since the 70s. I have enjoyed nearly all of his albums, but this is, by far, one of the best he's ever done. Don't miss it!!

I really like this new album with more variety of music. Seller was prompt and product was as stated

Earl Klughs new cd is a delightful ,awesome,superb , fantastic. The arrangments are awesome his musicianship is awesome. Id say going out as quick as you can & buy his new Cd.

...for nearly thirty years of musical perfection. If you already know of Mr. Klugh's wonderful music, then this CD is for you...it ranks up there among his best. If not, do yourself a favor and give this a listen. Here's hoping for (at least) thirty more years of musical magic from a true artist.

In keeping with the ongoing philosophy of genre-bending eclecticism that has driven all of his solo work, Earl's "Spice Of Life" embraces a range of styles - jazz, funk, pop, soul and more.
This new collection, inspired by the music of Klugh's life, offers up a soulful collection of songs designed to warm even the coldest night.
Some of the tracks are backed by full, lush orchestration, while others feature the strength of his fantastic acoustic guitar alone.
He reinterprets four of his favorite standards, but there are some Klugh originals: "Ocean Blue", "Driftin' ", a soft, melodic pop piece; the funky "Sleepyhead", "Snap!""and "Venezuelan Nights".
The latter is a pure gem, a soft, classical piece that showcases Klugh's nimble fingering. This is a Klugh original and he says he wrote it to honor Antonio Lauro, a classical guitarist and composer from Venezuela.
"One of the solo pieces I wrote is directly in the style of Antonio Lauro, a classical guitarist and composer from Venezuela" he says. "When I was young, there wasn't a lot of sheet music for classical guitar. Antonio's waltzes were some of the first transcriptions I ever had, and they are beautiful. I wrote and named the piece "Venezuelan Nights" in honor of Antonio".
A master class in jazz/soul, blues and R&B, the legendary Grammy winner guitar Maestro transforms the thoughtfully selected covers into his own, and succeeds in producing an intensely passionate and diverse album.
