Craig Chaquico, former guitarist for Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship and ruler of the high-energy yet mellow acoustic guitar is back on track with Follow the Sun. His talent with jazz rhythms and rock licks is just as at home on the electric guitars he brings out on this album as with the classical and gut-string guitars he has primarily used on past records. Ozzie Ahlers and most of Craig's regular touring band join him again on Follow the Sun. It has rapidly moved up to tie with 'Acoustic Highway' as my 2nd-favorite Chaquico album (yes, I own them all, and Four Corners is still my favorite! If you are familiar with and comfortable with Craig's jazz/new age music, Follow the Sun fits right in, just a little funkier than before. If you are new to this genre or this artist, I suggest that Panorama: The Best of Craig Chaquico is a good place to start.

This is a terrific release starts out with some fine "santana" like vibes and journey's through some jazz, rock, mellower tones. the overall journey is terrific. Set the controls for the heart of the sun woulda been a good title for this one! If you like his last few records, this one trumps them big time...

I loved the album because his sound is different that what I have been listening to in the realm of smooth jazz. His style appears to me to have a Spanish or Mexican influence. Some of his guitar work seems intricate to me.

I love this album and think that it is one of Craig's best. The first 2 songs, Lua Dae Mae and Azores Lisboa are my favorites...they sound so mysterious. I also loved his playing and energy.
This is a great Smooth Jazz album and it never gets old.

I have 3 other Chaquico CD's. I love them as they are soft jazz with no vocals. This CD is a bit to Techno sounding for me and has a vocal on one of the tracks. It's OK, but I like the other CD's better.

I have been following his music for a couple of years . I have never been disappointed with his new releases.

Only a few tracks on here that I liked.....previous CD's by this artist were much better.........

I was very pleased with my purchase. The CD was in excellent condition - like new as advertised. Also it was delivered withing a few days of my ordering. I would purchase from you again.
