Title: Slip - Sliding Away
Product review: This 1987 Chet Atkin's album finds him slip-sliding away. Please don't get me wrong. Believe me. when I was in the 8th grade, I got into fistfights defending Chet Atkin's unheralded mastery of the guitar. Of course, back then, in the 1950's I had his "Chet Atkins in Three Dimensions" on the RCA label to prove it. Now while Chet wasn't the reason I bought my first electric guitar (that was becaues of Buddy Holly), Chet Atkins and His Guitar were synonymous with excellence in the rough - the rough being country. Country was at the root of his fresh approach to the other guitar genres - folk, classical, Latin, etc. In retrospect there were about 8 seminal albums like "Dimensions" that Chet cut for RCA Victor. I'm not going to name them off because guitar aficianados are already well aware of them.(They're all out on CD by the way.)Sails is not seminal. It's down right weak.
