Title: Me And My Guitar
Product review: I discovered Chet Atkins via this album. By "discovered", I mean I stopped looking at him as "square", and started to appreciate him as the ultimate guitar player, which he was. It was around 1978, and Chet was on a PBS TV show called "Soundstage". With him were George Benson and Earl Klugh, who were already favorites of mine. The show featured them together and separately. If you haven't seen it, then by all means find somebody who has a copy. Back to the album. Chet dazzles on the opener Cascade in which he seemingly makes the guitar laugh and run circles around you. Amazing. The next number, West Memphis Serenade, a haunting, yet beautiful melody, will seduce you. Long Long Ago, features Lenny Breau, and he and Chet make a formidable duo. Vincent, by Don McLean, is a beautiful number also. Me And My Guitar features Chet actually singing. He does alright.I haven't had a chance to listen to The First Nashville Guitar Quartet. I'm sure there will be some fine moments.
