PhillyCheeze's Rock & Blues Reviews #697
Craig Erickson - Dream Tracks
"2024 – Craig Erickson
Release Date : Aug. 9, 2024

By Phillip Smith; Aug. 3, 2024

Original source : phillycheezeblues.blogspot.com

I am always excited to hear new music from world-class guitarist Craig Erickson. His songs are charged with positivity and defined by no boundaries. When asked about the inspiration for this record, Erickson stated “Music sometimes can be the soundtrack of dreams....and sometimes hearing music inspires dreams. Having written many instrumentals through the years, I've always wanted to share more of those concepts and melodies with listeners. Like many fans of 70s music, I was exposed to fusion, jazz rock pioneers like Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin, John McLaughlin, Weather Report, Chick Corea and funky crossover artists like Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour and many more.”

With his brand-new release Dream Tracks, Erickson takes the listener on a VIP tour down a wondrous ten-track path of jazz-laden, prog-rock instrumental originals. Produced, arranged, recorded, and mixed by Gerard Estella, Dream Tracks teams Erickson up with Estella on keyboards, Jim Coates on additional guitars, Lincoln Ginsberg on bass guitar, and Dave Nanke on drums/percussion.
