Another music great passes...


Too many passing, too many passing...Chet Atkins, one of the most influential guitarists in contemporary American music, died yesterday at age 77. For more information about his life and career, see the attached link to a Seattle Times article.

Later this mornning, I'll play one of my favorite albums by Chet, the recording he did with Mark Knopfler titled "Neck and Neck" (Columbia) -- an altogether amiable ramble by two stellar musicians.

The recording, "Chester and Lester, mentioned above by Whatdj is available on a domestic reissue CD from Tower Records for $12. There is also a Japanese "pressing" of the same CD for $26.
From the picture of the CD label on the Tower Web site, it looked like the CD was simply an expensive import, but not a 20-bit remaster.
