"Moving Skies" is Richy Kicklighter's 7th released CD. This is a smooth jazz guitar, new age, and world rhythm music. I enjoyed and liked this CD the very first time I listened to all of the tunes and all tracks written by him.

It is about his style and the way he played the chords confidently, which produced every tune he played, a clean and perfect sound that will make every listener feel good. I didn’t want to stop listening right from the first track “Indian Shores" and continuously up to the last track entitled “Hey You”. I was in a relaxed mood, very soothing and calming. Listening to the tunes, I would imagine myself walking on the beach, or just having a quiet moment at home with a cup of tea and just relaxing.

I have my personal favorites. My #1 is"A Minor Blue". I love the melody and kind of melancholy sweet flavor it gives. Another track “Bahia Vista”, which had a Brazilian feeling to it because of the beat and the percussions sound were prominent, that will take your imagination to a Brazilian coolness--atmosphere. Neil Larsen, who is also one of my favorite jazz artists since the ‘70’s, played piano on "Bahia Vista" and some other tunes, on piano and organ on this CD. Other favorites are "Hey You", "Moving Skies", and "Indian Shores".

Richy Kicklighter is brilliant in his guitar playing and combined with intelligent musicians composed on "Moving Skies" CD, and every instrument heard such as the bass, pedal steel, percussions, piano, keyboards, and drums sounded fabulous.

A very enjoyable CD.
