3.0 out of 5 stars Two masters but not duets, March 20, 2008

This review is from: Classic Guitar (Audio CD)

whilst i 100% agree with j simpson that these two are masters, I was spectacularly disappointed to find when i received this cd that all the tracks are solos by either chet or laurinda. the track listing for this cd does not indicate who plays which numbers so i assumed that all were duets, which i was really excited about. i have cover cds of each of the artists and no way would have purchased this one which is, in my humble opinion, of lesser quality (as a total product) than (take yout pick) any of chet or laurinda's cover cds - AND the cd does NOT have any liner notes. A most disappointing purchase.

Either one of these masters on their own is incredible, but the two together make for some truly beautiful music. Perfect for relaxing and letting go of daily stress.

Once again, Chet Atkins manages to prove what a genius he was.
