  • Just In Time

    By The Finndian
    The song is absolutely great. It's the best rendition of the song I have ever heard in my 75 years. The problem is, the song is "Just One Time", NOT " Just In Time". If I'm not mistaken, it was written and recorded by Don Gibson years ago, I seem to recall (but please correct me if I'm wrong; memories fade over time). But it's the best cover of the song I've ever heard. And why, iTunes, can't you print the correct title of the song? Why must you insist on listing it as "Just In time"? If I'm not mistaken you"ll hear the song's correct title voiced about 12 times in the song. Hasn't anyone ever brought this to your attention?

    I’ve played guitar all of my life, mostly Rock ‘n’ roll, and jazz. A friend of mine told me he thought Chet Atkins was the best lead guitarist ever. I’m shocked at how brilliant he was. Chet uses more than the pentatonic and blues scale. He use the major scale, the modes, and loads his leads with the sweetest arpeggios, 3rds and chords. WOW!
  • Bravo! Encore!

    Elvis may be king of rock 'n roll, but Chet Atkins is a definite King of Guitar! Chet amd Mark are awesome in the picks for this album---it's a must-have!

    This is simply the meeting of two of the best guitarists ever. The picking is impeccable, the voices wistful, and the humor self-effacing. Chet was a favorite growing up and Knopfler's metamorphosis from the electric days of Dire Straits to the folksy stylings of today have been part of my music for over thirty years. The songs here are wonderful choices from the opening, infectious "Poor Boy Blues", the eccentric "There'll Be Some Changes Made" to the closing "The Next Time I'm In Town". Great stuff!

    I purchased this cd simply because I believe knopfler is one of the most talented song writers I have ever heard.His unique topics , smooth lyrics and incredible playing separate him from the mere muscians that dominate radio waves. I have never been a great fan of the country genre,but Knopfler could make any type of music sound great. I was blown away by the depth ,purity and honesty of this cd. Atkins a nd Knopfler seem to have had fun recording these songs and their picking is incredible.

    This is an exceptionally strong and understated piece of work. I can't believe this came out in 1990. I play this on field assignments and no matter whether I'm North L.A. County, the Bay Area or Libby Montana, the response has always been "Hey, this is good, can I see the cover?"

    I remember the first time heard this album... i was 14, and it has stuck with me ever since. It's a fantastic collaboration by two of the greatest country/blues guitarist's and will never get old.
