Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins - Neck & Neck


Rating: 5/5

Review:
Ooh yeah, the boys can play



Just to add my voice to the chorus of praise for this excellent album.  Two real guitar virtuosi in Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler produce an immensely enjoyable disc, clearly relishing each other's company.  It is country-tinged, full of fantastic guitar picking from both and manages to have real musical quality while being thoroughly good-natured.

If you like slightly country-flavoured music, fantastic guitar picking or just an enjoyable album of good songs performed by two real geniuses of the guitar, this is for you.  Personally, I love it and, twenty years after its release, it still gives me huge pleasure, raises a smile and causes my toes to tap involuntarily.  Very warmly recommended.
