From the Redwoods to the Rockies

Amazon.com
Two premier guitarists team up for this dual effort from Windham Hill, a collection of evocative guitar-based music with an occasionally jazzy bent. Some of the material has a mystical feel to it, particularly the opening Riders of the Ancient Winds and the title track. The Maiden and the Warrior features some guest sax work from Paul Taylor, but the guitar comes to the forefront on "Samba del Luna," "Tribal Runner", " Fallen Heroes," and "Sweetwater." --Genevieve Williams

Very smooth... for cloudy days.......2007-01-10

Nice companion for cloudy days. A neet work.
Riders of the Ancient Winds is the "tour de force" and Tribal Runner makes the rest...

Great Music!.......2005-08-06

Very bright sounding music. Some of it is relaxing, some of it is uplifting, and some of it is moving. Overall, it is very good. Anyone who likes the softer styles of guitar music should listen to this album. If you like this title, I also recommend Craig Chaquico's Acoustic Planet. Great driving music.

A delightful album for guitar lovers.......2004-03-13

All tracks on this album are very good, which is rare.
I strongly suggest you listen to it with a good set of headphones. The experience is quite different from speakers, as you will appreciate sonic subtleties lost through speakers.

A brilliant collaboration.......2003-01-27

Actually, I rate it 4.5 stars.
I am an avid music lover of many genres. The entire CD is good, which is a rarity. All the tracks are beautifully orchestrated. The music is upbeat, melodic, rhythmic. No boring tracks. You won't be disappointed.

A beautiful album........2003-01-25

I bought this CD for the opening track, "Riders of the Ancient Winds", which I had frequently heard on the radio. Sometimes you buy a CD for the one track you've heard, and all the other ones turn out to be disappointing. This is definitely not the case here. There are so many terrific tracks, it's hard to say which is my favorite - they are almost all hauntingly beautiful, conjuring up a variety of moods and atmospheres. I love to put this CD on, close my eyes and drift away. "Seattle Child" evokes a brilliant summer day punctuated by rainshowers. "Change of Seasons" gives me a very powerful mental image of Pacific fog drifting over the redwoods of Marin County in late fall. I could go on describing my response to each track but you will probably have different images and moods. One thing's for sure, you will never grow tired of listening to this album.
