If you claim to be a fan of Chet and/or Jerry you are REQUIRED to buy this product if you do not already own it, so quit dilly-dallying and get on with it. Be advised, though, that the hardware I received (this is one CD with the songs from two previously released albums on it) had the song titles switched - The "Me and Jerry" songs had the titles from "Me and Chet" and vice versa.

Jerry Reed is great by himself, but these two together work off each other to produce one of a kind classics! Don't miss it.

I remember the first time I ran across this collection, when I was in Japan. I had been a fair weather fan of Chet Atkins since boyhood, and I heard that guy from Smokey and the Bandit was a pretty good guitar player, too. So I thought, what the heck, I'll buy it and give it a listen. Little did I realize that once I hit the play button and "Jerry's Breakdown" started coming out of my speakers, my whole life would change. This CD began a quest through used record stores throughout the world (mainly L.A.; this was before the internet) trying to find any and every Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed record in existence. My undying and ever increasing love of hot country guitar playing began here and has led me to Roy Nichols, James Burton, Cliff Gallup, Merle Travis, Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Phil Baugh, Johnny Hiland, Danny Gatton, Don Rich, Jimmy Bryant, Redd Volkaert, and on and on and on. If these names thrill your heart and ears like they do mine, and you still don't own this CD BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!! (Especially before these recordings go out of print again, as they often do). In the delicious bowl of hot country guitar soup created by all the above mentioned chefs, "Me and Chet/Me and Jerry" is the main ingredient.

I doubt that anyone can listen to this without tapping their toes! This is pure entertainment from start to finish.

This is a great CD with two masters working together to create really wonderful music. You get caught up in the way the two artists work together and support each other harmonically. They complement each other, they don't compete. This is great long-drive on the highway music.

Their best recorded albums are the 2 on this cd, in my view. Classic, understated and tasteful yet funky as hell. Perfect car/truck driving music I suspect you'll never tire of.

Great Collection! I listen to this over and over. It's relaxing, excellent sound quality. Interesting liner notes. Well Done!
