The Atkins-Travis traveling show Now it's on CD. I've seached 25 years for this record. Much guitar talk are referred back to this record when we talk about fingerpicking style. These are the two pioneers of the style. Here they are having a good time together. Relaxed and complimenting each other the best way possible. If you play guitar or just like that particular style of playing. This cd is a must. Simply the best. Good recording quality from 1974. Produced by Chet and Jerry Reed. Don't just take my word for it. And the choice of songs and melodies are superb. Classic tunes played by the best.
An old friend, rediscovered.
C. This album brings back so many memories of living in Beaufort, S. in the late seventies. It is laid back music played by two guitar legends. These guys are friends and it shows. They play with a warmth and skill that is rare in today's world. I spent many warm summer nights listening to these guys weave their magic. There is plenty of thumb-picking, speed-runs and off-key singing and just the right amount of intimate feeling. A gem of a recording by two old masters. Mistakes and all.
ATKINS- TRAVIS TRAVILING SHOW IMPORT
Two masters, each one learning, each one teaching, each one enjoying each other. Two old friends getting together having fun doing what they do best, playing guitar.
