"Neck and Neck" Mark Knopfler/Chat Atkins


What a great "natural sounding" (lp)!!! I hope all of you have a chance to hear this one, or better yet, own it, and listen again. It is AWESOME!!!

I saw a Chet Atkins special on public TV recently that had a great guest list:
Willie and Waylon
The Everly Brothers
Mark Knopler
Micael McDonald
Emylou Harris

Besides the great music and vibe, the respect from these stars was sincere and obvious. Chet is one of those rare musicians musician.
Can anyone comment on the Chet & Lenny Breau album? I've been meaning to pick that one up for many years.
judging from the amazon.com reviews it's comparable to the other Chet and ** releases; however also judging from amazon.com, you may need to get a second mortgage to buy a copy . . .

I've never heard it but would like to get one. Alas, I'll have to wait until the re-release it at reasonable prices.
Chazro, I need to remember that when I post concerning music, that I need to specify that it is vinyl. As an aside, when I bought this (lp) years ago from Acoustic Sounds, I paid $10.00,(sealed). I noticed a couple of years agop they want $100.00 for it used!!!
Wow,I had not thought about this CD in a long time. I had forgoten how good it was. Thanks for bringing it up. I enjoyed listening to Mark and Chet again.
