Across The Sand - Earl Klugh

  • One of my all time favourite guitarists I remember buying the first Earl Klugh album back in 1977, inspired by another great legend 'Chet Atkins' I've collected most of Earl's albums to date (although now in the possession of my 23 old guitarist son). Across The Sand sums up 2 major likes of mine, the beautiful sound of an African choir and the 4 decades of enjoyment from this master player. When this video was posted I could never have known how huge this track would be in Africa as nearly all the comments are from that part of the world. Understandable though as 'Across The Sand' is probably one of the best blends of guitar and African music I've ever heard.

    I have been listening to this song since the 1990s. I've been sitting here working with Jazz music playing in the background, nothing out of the ordinary. I wasn't paying attention to the music in the background. Then this song started to play, and it was -- something unusual about it, causing a stir within my core. So I had to stop working to check, and to my surprise, an added layer of drums. Man, you have no idea how much you moved my soul with this rendition. Thank you very much. I'm from southern Africa, working from somewhere in North America.

    This song brings tears to my eyes. It makes me think of my late father. He didn't want me to the guitar, saying that it's for those who are demonic, according to our culture. But, I accidentally heard him whispering to his friend when they heard me playing this song that, "this boy can play this thing and I'm proud of him". I can't finish a day without playing this song,

The nuance and expressiveness of your drumming was amazing, with so many subtly different cymbal sounds. I haven't properly appreciated drumming on tracks like this as much as I should. It was an education as much as a pleasure.

      Yes of course Gary, the toms are Sonorlite Norwegian Birch 8x8, 10x9, 12x10 and 14x12 making them fairly much fusion sizes, the heads are Evans G2 Level 360's which I find give a nice wet tonal sound. Bass drum is a 22x18 and I use a Black Panther black brass and gold hoop snare on this vid but on others the matching Sonorlite 14x7 wood snare. Hope this helps you find the sound you are looking for. All the best .....Martin
