Chet Atkins I've been listening to for over 60 years; to me he's a famous finder picker and has been since my first knowing who this talent on loan from God, man was in 1960's. Combine this talent with perhaps the worlds greatest new finger picker, Tommy Emmanuel: what's not to enjoy or like, even love if you can take about an hour and enjoy their JOY in playing as individuals and together, AWESOME talent combo. Primarily instrumental, it's simply pleasure to feel their joy and their elegant simplicities of creating mood and atmosphere that defines music that relaxes and helps heal inner conflicts and salves hidden wounds with Godly talent. Thank you men.

Some of the songs are OK, but for the most part I was not impressed. It would seem that Chet was just starting out, and Emmanuel was just glad to be included. Not their best work. I think there are better choices. I would not buy it again.

Lot of fun on this cd. Light hearted and very enjoyable. You can't go wrong with two of the best guitarists ever to play. Bravo.

One of the best Chet Atkins records in his long career. I own just about everything Chet Atkins recorded, most of it on vinyl. Tommy Emmanuel, as usual, plays with smoking technique. He's fast, powerful, and very musical. He drives Chet to dizzying heights of fret board speed & ideas. The 2 guitarists are supremely compatible. It's a slickly produced record without being cloying. In my opinion, this record is in the top 10 of guitar playing ever made.
This is a great CD both musically and historically. If you are a fan of fingerpicking style playing you will love this music and hear two of the greatest players of this style. Tommy Emmanuel is an amazing player and NOBODY did it like Chet. Chet was a big fan of Tommy's and seemed to pass the torch on to Tommy to continue this wonderful style of playing guitar. One of Chet Atkins's last recordings. The songs and arrangements are brilliant. Highly recommended and a must have CD. You will listen again amy again.
