Free Music Review: Chet's Last Album
Hit: 5 Stars
First let me say "WOW!"
I was expecting something along the lines of the Jerry Reed/Chet Atkins or the Chester and Lester collaborations as these two players (Chet and Tommy) are absolutely amazing. What I got instead was a wonderful series of duets where it is sometimes difficult to tell where Tommy leaves off and Chet begins. They pay tribute to Mel Bay in a cute little ditty (always wanted to use that word) that anyone who has ever used a Mel Bay book to learn from can relate to.
I recently has a chance to sit down with Tommy and talk to him about this album and his relationship with Chet. They purposely mixed this album such that the separation is not as dramatic as in previous duet albums. Tommy wanted the two guitars to almost be an extension of each other, and that is what he got. The album was recorded in a small window between the end of Chet's treatment for one bout of cancer and the beginning of treatment for the cancer that finally took him from us.
Chet was the greatest influence on Tommy and his respect for Chet shows in his playing and mixing on this album.
If you are looking for a "dueling guitars" kind of album, this is not it. Go get the ones with Chet and Jerry. But if you are a Chet fan, a Tommy fan or just enjoy listening to great guitar playing, this album is a must have.
