I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Craig Chaquico for you with just one word... Outstanding!
Four Corners launches with an outstanding track, The Drifter, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It's a really nice track.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Overall Four Corners is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Smooth Jazz fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.
While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2, Forbidden Love, track 4, Red Rocks, and track 7, A Mothers Heart.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, Somebody To Love. Good stuff!
