Great stuff.
AAA. Two of my favourite guitarists - - together they make for top listening.


Fast delivery. Great CD
My dad played Chet Atkins when I was growing up, but I never appreciated his music until I heard him with Mark Knopfler. I like this CD. They sound like they had a good time together recording this.


I can't say further here *****, 'n not less could be said where two masters meet.
Their spontaneous artistry makes them perform flawlessly to the point that nothing less than ***** may be given. Knowing their way since long before, nothing negative may be said about a performance did by two GIANTS of the guitar. It should be exiting to think about this work if being released using hi-rez. format.


A Missed Opportunity
There was no reason to include vocals on this effort, or even backing instrumentation. Having seen some videos of these two in performance, I expected a lot more from the CD. Atkins was a pioneering genius of the guitar and Knopfler is his equal in talent and technique. The two of them together alone on a stage made magic, and that's all this CD needed. Yes, there is great guitar playing to be found here, but not nearly as much as there might have been had the production not been overloaded with extraneous material. One great guitarist can entertain a crowd all night -- two great guitarists as in sync with one another as Knopfler and Atkins were, could (and did) entertain the crowd that much more. Don't get me wrong -- the music on here is good. But, it confounds me why a decision was made to include singing and a back-up band, since the attraction here is these two great guitarists playing together. Knopfler and Atkins missed an opportunity to leave us an exemplary permanent record of a one-of-a-kind musical pairing.


Delightful
Why didn't I get this sooner?. . This disc seems like a delightful, easy-going jam between Knofler and Atkins. Very enjoyable.
