Album Review

Working with Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler had a rejuvinating influence on Chet Atkins. Knopfler has Atkins moving toward his country roots, but both guitarists still play with a tasteful, jazzy sensibility -- however, Atkins has abandoned the overt jazz fusion pretensions that sank most of his '80s records. With its direct, understated approach, Neck and Neck is the most focused and arguably the most rewarding record Atkins has released. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

This is an icredible cd! Chet Atkins the old guard And Mark Knopfler the New! These two seem to have so much fun playing together that it really comes thru the music.The playing is fast clean and joyous. I can't help but smile when I listen to there playing.They each know what the other is doing or about to do when they are together.I guess thats why they say Pickin & a Grinin!Pick this one up and enjoy music again.It covers Traditional Country to Jazz and back again.The other members of this band also seem to feel what chemistry there is between the two Key Players.

Although some reviews say this is of Chet Atkins' better recordings, I found it rather dull and uninspiring.
