Performer Notes:

• Personnel: Martin Taylor, Chet Atkins (guitar).
• Engineers: Tom Bruner, Lars Elfendahl, Calum Malcolm.
• Principally recorded at Tom Brunner Studios, Nashville, Tennessee, Muggenpark Studios, Hamburg, Germany and Funny Farm Studios, Scotland between July 26 and December 12, 1995.
• Taylors fifth release for Linn combines solo recordings along with a few duets with Nashville legend Chet Atkins and a pair of overdubbed duets. Taylors fluid, unaccompanied playing makes him the most obvious heir to the legacy of Joe Pass. All of Martin Taylors recordings for the Scottish label Linn are strongly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

Professional Reviews: JazzTimes (10/96, p.114) - "...Taylor can...make you swear there are two people playing....Taylor has really advanced the way jazz guitarists can approach the music....But he brings much more than naked technique to the table--theres taste, intelligence, phrasing, feeling, swing and wit in ample evidence..."
