Free Music Notes for Happy Hour
Free Music Review: Splendid, masterful, delightful
Hit: 5 Stars
Based on the song list, I wasn't prepared for how much I truly enjoyed this CD. I've thoroughly appreciated it, especially the guitar method displayed in such excellent improvisational style by both Tommy Emmanuel and Jim Nichols. Both artists are individually superb, and for this collaboration they blend their strengths for maximum effect.
Tommy combines a flawless rhythmic sense with his matchless ability to draw something original from old standards like Avalon, while at the same time supporting Jim's solos with understated grooves and harmonics that makes you wonder why the original song never sounded that good.
Jim also gives his best to this album. His solos have a great technical depth, yet he never leaves the essence of the basic groove behind, making his mark on each song with some licks that will leave you speechless or just saying, "Yeah...," in agreement.
I have nearly all Tommy Emmanuel's acoustic music now, and this is every bit as good as the other albums (though not especially similar). In fact, thanks to Jim's presence, it's much better musically than his album with Chet Atkins, I think.
Enjoy.
Happy Hour Poster
2006 repackaging of the album Chet Lag, a tribute to Chet Atkins recorded by Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel and California Jazz picker Jim Nichols. In 2006, Emmanuel wrote and recorded three songs in a similar style and added them as bonus tracks, renaming the album Happy Hour.Happy Hour is a handpicked selection of recordings for serious 'boom chick' fans. Features a first release of Tommy's song Happy Hour and a previously unreleased version of Sanitarium Shuffle - featuring Tommy on every instrument. Jim Nichols joins Tommy for the remaining tracks in their tribute to the legendary Chet Atkins. Happy Hour is spontaneity, versatility, and musicianship at the highest level, by two of the greatest fingerpickers in the world today.
