| What a joy it is to hear these two guitar grandmasters at their ease. Chet Atkins and Les Paul, two of the most innovative, influential and instantly recognizable soloists in all the world on their chosen instrument. Here they are, in Nashville in 1975, backed by the crème de la crème of Music City's studio musicians, rendering an assortment of what Louis Armstrong called "the good old good ones," standard tunes that are a lot of fun to play. This expanded edition of Chester & Lester contains four previously unissued bonus tracks, the original liner notes by the much-honored Nat Hentoff, and an insightful, new annotation by Rich Kienzle. Titles are: 'It's Been A Long, Long Time', 'Medley: Moonglow/Picnic', 'Caravan', 'It Had To Be You', 'Out Of Nowhere', 'Avalon', 'Birth Of The Blues', 'Someday Sweetheart', 'Deed I Do', 'Lover Come Back To Me'. Bonus Tracks:'The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise', 'You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me', 'Caravan (Alternate Version)', 'Medley: Moonglow/Picnic (Rehearsal Version)'. |
