A great guitar album you may not have known was a great guitar album is Christopher Cross‘s self-titled debut (1979). Yes, that’s right, soft rock legend Christopher Cross, the guy who did “Sailing” and “Arthur’s Theme” not only featured Jay Graydon, Larry Carlton and Eric Johnson on masterful guitar solos for 5 songs, but is himself a killer guitar player who knocked it out of the park on his own hit, “Ride Like The Wind” with a shredding outro solo. Great player, great album full of great songwriting and some truly brilliant guitar work. If you haven’t noticed this album before, I highly recommend it from start to finish.
