The Everly Brothers - Two Yanks in England (1966)

Finally got this rarity which I was looking for for years and I'm happy to share this great stuff with everyone. Most of the album are obscure songs by The Hollies which were written to submit to Everly Brothers, and among them a real brilliant - Like Everytime Before, I listen to it again and again, it's sooooo beautiful, I like it much more than Hollies version. So find a comfortable position and enjoy. Merry Christmas!

Chet Atkins - Life In Music

Chet Atkins - Life In Music
Quote from Amazon.Com
This is 44 minutes of pure joy. As a tribute to guitar master Chet Atkins, it's too short by half, but this TNN documentary (originally broadcast nearly 10 months before Atkins died at age 77 in June 2001) succeeds as both a concise chronology of Atkins's career and a loving valentine from the great musicians who benefited from Atkins's mentorship, collaboration, and shared love of music. Every testimony is genuinely sincere, just like Atkins was, and gracefully balanced with Chet's own picking (as astonishing as ever), interview clips, and fond reminiscences of his early days as a Tennessee performer...
