When the famed rock guitarist emerged from his years with Jefferson Starship (later Starship) and became a solo artist in the mid-'90s, his popular adult contemporary instrumental sound was anchored in a distinctive vibe he defined with the title of his debut solo album, Acoustic Highway.
While all of the originals are compelling, Chaquico makes a few quirky, history-filled cover choices which may puzzle fans a bit. Kenny G's "Songbird" set the standard for the smooth jazz era but is more generic than the unique sound the guitarist centered his own career on. And the original instrumental version of "Lights Out San Francisco" (from 1997's Once in a Blue Universe) is stronger than this pleasant vocal version with singer Rolf Hartley.
