Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074644530728 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 45307 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: September 24, 1990 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Two generations of guitarists merge on this cleverly-titled album, with former Dire Straits virtuoso Mark Knopfler taking time off from scoring movies to join Chet Atkins, one of the fathers of electric guitar pickin'. And there's some mighty fine country pickin' on display here, with the duo joined by some of Nashville's all-time finest players, including the late, great Floyd Cramer, Mark O'Connor, Larry Londin, Vince Gill, and Steve Wariner. The material ranges from choice country covers (Doc Watson's "Poor Boy Blues," Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams") to rock 'n' roll ("Yakety Ax," a take on Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax"), jazz (Django Reinhardt's "Tears"), a Knopfler original, and even the old standard "I'll See You in My Dreams." It sounds like they had fun, too! --Bill Holdship Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DelightfulWhy didn't I get this sooner?... This disc seems like a delightful, easy-going jam between Knofler and Atkins. Very enjoyable. Rating: - love country and rockIf you like Chet Atkins and Dire Straits you will love this CD. The blending of the 2 styles is great. Enjoy it alot and will keep it as one of my all time favorites. Rating: - sweet stuffThis is truly one of the sweetest CDs I own. Not only is the music just grand, but the warmth between Chet and Mark really comes through. Rating: - Good conditionI didn't actually listen to the cd, as it was a gift for my dad, but it arrived in good condition, and I've heard no complaints from him. Rating: - Incredible guitar from two mastersThis is an incredible colaboration from two guitar masters. The interaction between Mark and Chet is a treat to listen to. I bought this CD when it was released, and it is still as fresh and interesting to listen to today as it was then. I very highly recommend it if you enjoy performances by excellent musicians. |
