Here is a disc that will remind you why just about everybody loved Chet Atkins. Like so many other artists, Chet helped Suzy Bogguss get her start. From working together, Chet tried to help her get a recording contract. No takers. So one day he called her up and asked her if she'd like to tour with him. After her exposure on the tour, she was offered a recording contract almost immediately. Then Chet and Suzy decided they'd like to do an album together and what an effort it turned out to be!

The smoothness of Suzy's voice is in perfect harmony with Chet's smooth playing in that spare, "just right" style he had. The production allows Suzy's singing and Chet's playing to be present in the mix and even to an untrained ear they sound exceptional.

This album is a good example of what's happening to high quality older recordings in the music industry today. As good as this one is, it should be judged a classic and never go out of print. However because not many people even know about it, you have to do like I did and search it out from a second hand source. By my humble judgment, it was easily worth the effort.

What can you possibly add to superb, that would do justice to this album? Not only do you have the greatest guitar player in the world, but also, argueably, the finest female voice in country music today. The Man is a musical genius, who knows about making great records; he has been performer, backing musician, producer, arranger, etc.etc., and so forth, while the Lady has a voice to die for, one that entrances & captivates the listener, just as one might expect of the angels. Put them together with ten great country classics, and you have Simpatico. It is the perfect blending, & the result is simply flawless. I've lost count of the number of times I have played my copy of Simpatico, and yet I've never tired of listening to a single track from it. There's lots of great country albums out there, but there is only one Simpatico.
