Naked Guitar is a solo-guitar[4] studio album by Earl Klugh released in 2005. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 48th Grammy Awards in 2006.[5][6] After six years of studio absence, Klugh returned to the studio and released a fingerstyle jazz album similar to his 1989 release "Solo Guitar".[7] Naked Guitar is the first album to be recorded by Klugh on the Koch Records label. It features intimate solo interpretations of 13 standards and pop classics, as well as the song "Angelina", a tune from Klugh's self-titled 1976 solo debut album that he wrote in 1971.[8][9][10]
