Album review:
"If you love the guitar, you'll love this album. Other great guitarists like Scotty Moore, James Burton and Steve Cropper should have made an album this good. The focus is all on the great electric guitar work of these 2 maestros and the backup rhythm section never gets in the way. So if you've been disappointed by the efforts of some of the other great pickers, like the ones mentioned above, this disc will fill the void quite nicely. Chet Atkins would surely have given this a thumbs up too." -- A music fan, 2004 (Treasure Island, FL)
