On Dream Come True, the legendary American acoustic guitar icon, fingerstyle maestro, and masterfully panoramic architect of contemporary instrumental phrasing Earl Klugh steps into the studio spotlight to deliver a towering, historically luminous, and beautifully lush crossover document. Released in 1980 by United Artists / EMI Records, this monumental milestone stands as an exceptionally fluid, high-fidelity monument capturing Klugh's absolute definitive fusion of delicate nylon-string guitar artistry and sophisticated, radio-friendly pop-jazz arrangements. Spanning over 37 minutes of immaculate, widescreen spatial design across 8 expansive tracks, the sonic landscape operates with an intense, beautifully layered, and emotionally uplifting creative energy. Klugh acts as a brilliant sonic visionary, weaponizing his immaculate classical picking hand, glistening melodic voice, and complex chordal geometries against rich, cinematic orchestral and acoustic frameworks. Together, they trace spectacular landmarks from the bright, charting groove of If It's in Your Heart (It's in Your Smile) and the sun-drenched rhythmic drive of Amazon to a deeply poetic, soul-stirring reading of Burt Bacharach's classic Message to Michael. Supported by an absolute pantheon of session royalty—including master bassist Marcus Miller, rhythm guitarist Reggie Young, and keyboard icon Greg Phillinganes—this pristine archive remains an indispensable masterpiece for serious jazz guitar purists and crossover smooth jazz collectors worldwide.
