Peculiar Situation is a smooth jazz studio album by Earl Klugh released in 1999. This release features Klugh on both guitar and keyboard, and contains Klugh's first ever vocal track, as he "takes the role of a sideman to a vocalist for the first time in his recording career, breezing in behind Roberta Flack on 'Now and Again' ".

Klugh's first and only album for Windham Hill Jazz (01934 11383 2), his 20th studio album overall, finds him for the most part mining familiar and friendly territory. The exceptions being the aforementioned vocal track with Roberta Flack and the Caribbean flavored "Desert Paradise", with The Ambassadors providing backing vocals. The usual reliable crew of backing musicians is present, Al Turner, Lenny Price and Greg Phillinganes. The track "Before You Go" was used in the television series "Melrose Place". After this release, Klugh took six years off from studio recording to concentrate on world tours, including an American Goodwill tour sponsored by U.S. State Department.


All songs composed by Earl Klugh except where noted.
