Craig Chaquico Acoustic Highway
April 30th, 2007I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Craig Chaquico for you with just one word…
Outstanding!
This one literally grabs your attention right from the start with Mountain In The Mist and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Sunset Alter, which is another great track by the way.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Listen to Acoustic Highway and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Craig Chaquico’s guitar playing is in top form. If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this CD.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 2, Return Of The Eagle. This is a great track!
