This reissue places two of Chet Atkins' RCA albums 1969's Lover's Guitar and 1970's Yestergroovin' on one CD. Yestergroovin', presented first on the disc, is an interesting group of jazz standards, original pieces and reworked folk tunes among other songs. Despite the differences in songs and arrangements, the whole album has an easygoing feel that makes it arguably one of the very best albums Chet made in his long career. Lover's Guitar, on the other hand, features Chet playing some pop tunes of the day as well as some more classically oriented pieces including two Tarrega compositions; most of the album has accompaniment from a second guitar and strings but a few tracks feature Chet solo. Despite never having appeared in full on CD until now, Yestergroovin' is a favorite of many Chet fans. Lover's Guitar, however, seems to have been all but forgotten since its initial release, so it's inclusion here is a very pleasant surprise. The packaging is fairly simple (the booklet only advertises other Dutton/Vocalion titles) but the remastering job is quite good (not too loud) and very listenable. One major mistake got past the label, though: the harmonica opening to the title track of Yestergroovin is missing, cutting the track short by about eight seconds. That issue notwithstanding, the CD is definitely recommended to the dedicated Chet Atkins fan. ~ Connor L., Amazon
