Album Description
Available in:
Acoustic Highway is American musician Craig Chaquico's first solo album as a contemporary jazz artist after 16 years playing lead guitar, composing songs, and co-producing for the San Francisco-based rock bands he co-founded, Jefferson Starship and Starship. Acoustic Highway, co-written and co-produced by keyboardist Ozzie Ahlers, was released on June 11, 1993, through the Higher Octave label.The album was an immediate musical and critical success, becoming Billboard magazine's #1 Indie New Age Album of the year

The album was recorded at Chaquico's Lunatunes Studio in Mill Valley, California, mixed at Auravision Studios in Ojai, California, and mastered at Quad Tech Studios in Los Angeles

The album features nature-conscious songs such as "Return of the Eagle", "Mountain in the Mist", and "Land of the Giants". Chaquico produced distinctive "rippling, glistening, fluid tones" by processing his customized Washburn acoustic guitar through electronic effects. Chaquico includes elements that draw from new age, contemporary and smooth jazz compositions while containing subtle undertones of Native American influences. Chaquico's original recording of his jazz track "Sacred Ground" was included on the original Harley Davidson Road Song Collection in 1994, alongside classic rock songs such as "Born to Be Wild", "Rockin' Down the Highway" and a song by his former band, Jefferson Starship, "Ride the Tiger".
