Me & Chet

The second time around, with the names reversed, Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins turn in another brilliant session of instrumental guitar interplay. This time, most of the songs are country tunes, and both include originals, with Reed's leadoff track, "Jerry's Breakdown," giving the pickers a chance for a display of speed, while his "Good Stuff" is slow and swampy. The highlight may be a spirited take on "Mystery Train," but there isn't a bad track, as the two pickers trade licks gleefully, sparking each other.
