@hssmrg They did two --"Chester & Lester" released in 1976 and "Guitar Monsters" released the following year (which actually contained several "culls" from the initial recording session). Both albums won Grammy Awards for Best Country Instrumental Performance for their respective years. They are still available (Amazon, etc.) with both albums combined on one CD. Fantastic music !!
@texpaco I bought both of them for my grandfather who was a huge Chet fan and had all his previous albums. He loved this music and through him, I love it too! There is only one, Mr. Guitar!
IMO, the stand-out cut from a guitar LP of epochal significance.
(Chet has never been more fluid, and when you hear Les play what may sound to you like '50's rock licks, remember: He was playing them in the '40's, before
Despite what has always been great this song, I must admit that few versions of this I like, so with "Apache. " Songs are very popular with many performers, but I usually do not like ... But this time I found a magnificent performance that left me spellbound. So now I can say that "Caravan" is a song I like.
From my favorite ALL TIME album... Chester and Lester. Wish they would have recorded more together!

rock 'n roll was a gleam in Chuck Berry's eye.)
