As a producer, and record label owner, I have heard my share of guitar albums through the years. I have been a big fan of Acoustic Alchemy since the beginning, and own all of their works to date. Blue Chip continues to be my personal favorite (with Back on the Case running a close second) becuase of the crisp, unforgettable melodies that are laced throughout this guitar gem. I consider myself privilged to have seen Nick & Greg many times in concert and recently the new version of Alchemy and they truly deliver a superb performance every time. If you're a fan of guitar music, do yourself a favor and get this CD - you will not regret it!

This CD is simply admirable. The Blue chip is an optimist piece. With you I mind is a very smooth ballad with soft lyrics. Bright tiger is a piece with strong Arabian accent and Ariane is another smooth piece. Highland is tome the best of the album.

But there is still more. Boulder coaster is a summer breeze song and Hearts in chains is overwhelming.

In sum this album is extremely recommendable for any listener who appreciates anfd enjoys the jazz moods.

This album is absolutely a "Blue Chip"! I have not even bought the CD and the samples "fired me up". The samples I heard are of the highest level of excellence. This CD should be in the top-drawer of every Acoustic Alchemy fans collection. It is both motivating and uplifting to say the least.This will be one of the foremost Acoustic Alchemy CD's that I will ever own. It is worth my investment. I am going to buy this one today. Acoustic Alchemy is at their tops with this CD. The interweaving of the nylon and steel strings in combination with the drum and horn arrangements make this one an unforgettable memory. Makes me feel like an eagle soaring hight above the clouds. It's awesome! Thanks a lot Acoustic Alchemy.

As much as I adore Acoustic Alchemy, this is the CD that I listen to least. When I played it for my parents they mistook it for a Kenny G record. Every great group takes a wrong turn somewhere along the line. This was theirs.

I found it to be a good buy, but I thought some of their other cd's to be a little better overall.
