Our Take

Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler's collaboration on "Neck And Neck" is a delightful blend of twangy guitar riffs and smooth melodies that come together like a fine whiskey and a good cigar. The album takes listeners on a journey through the roots of country and rock music, showcasing the virtuosity of both musicians in a way that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Atkins, known as the "Country Gentleman," brings his signature fingerpicking style to the table, while Knopfler, of Dire Straits fame, adds his soulful vocals and impeccable guitar playing to the mix. The result is a collection of songs that are both technically impressive and emotionally resonant.

Standout tracks include the toe-tapping "There'll Be Some Changes Made" and the hauntingly beautiful "Just One Time." The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable, with each track showcasing their unique talents while also highlighting their mutual respect and admiration for one another.

Overall, "Neck And Neck" is a must-listen for fans of guitar-driven music and Americana. It's a testament to the enduring power of collaboration and the magic that can happen when two musical legends come together to create something truly special. So grab your favourite pair of cowboy boots and settle in for a wild ride through the sounds of the South – you won't be disappointed.
