Customer Reviews The other half of this album... If "tight" is what you're after, this is most definitely not for you. Since most of the reviews here seemed to be about the second, more blues-oriented half of this album, I decided to put my two cents in on the first, more Bo Diddley-beat side. If you want a cool snapshot of two guitar icons at their respective primes, grab this disc. I had a copy of "Two Great Guitars" back from when it was available on Chess all by itself, and I played it all the time, especially at parties. It also makes for interesting mix tape/mp3/cd contributions, including a really cool (no kidding) version of "When The Saints Go Marching In. " Something interesting to think about as you listen is exactly how loose and jammy the playing really is, not the contrived BS of current-day so-called "jam bands" and other misbegotten lovechildren of the truly wonderful Grateful Dead. The situation that led to this album was a contrivance on the part of the Chess brothers to try to parlay the success of two of their biggest artists into an easy commercial success. Despite that, "Two Great Guitars" is fun, spontaneous and full of personality. A must have collection I thought it was a lot of fun then (I recorded it to a reel to reel tape that has all but worn out) and I find it just as appealing to day. I first heard this record when a friend checked it our from the library many years ago-about 1974. I'm glad to see it reissued on a cd. If you want to hear Muddy, the Wolf, and Bo Diddly playing around with the music, talking the talk, and having fun together, then this is a must have album. It's three greats playing around like they were sitting in a living room with a couple of beers and having fun. . A REAL TREAT It's just alot of fun to listen to . Despite what some of the reviewers state, this album is a real treat for fans of Muddy, Wolf and Bo. I am a huge fan of Muddy and Wolf and to hear them interact and have fun with Bo Diddley is worth the price of admission. Any Blues fan should buy this album. .
