Thanks for posting this recoding, I 've never heard before. Both Merle and Chet are top players...and always will be. This song is so smooth, and the tones these guys are getting are heavenly. MUCH RESPECT for Merle and Chet....Oh, and don't forget Jerry Reed and Mark Knoffler.

As much as I respect BOTH of these gentlemen, I have never heard this song... THANK YOU for posting it, I grinned all the way through! :-)

brings bake memories, I'm a history prof, and reguarly explain alternative points of view, by quoting, "Chet, i've noticed you don't pick the way I do"

My rap drenched students get the point without context, but who case

The other picker on the right was both of their teachers MOSE RAGER!

i love it...chet and the king of the guitar merle travis the only way it couldve been better is if jerry reed threw a lick or 2 in there

[44Snyder]

He may have...Reed was the producer of this album.

@MasonMan16 According to the album notes Jerry Reed played rhythm on a couple of tracks i guess it may have sounded better if they had let him pick to.
