Guitar Legend: Rca Years ReviewThis is a fine collection which includes many of Chet's early 78 RPM & 45 RPM sides. The overall sound quality is quite good. The selection of tracks is impressive and the CD insert booklet is very informative.
Of interest is a couple of tracks from Chet's early RCA EP: PICKIN' THE HITS which includes DANCE WITH ME HENRY and TWEEDLEE DEE. There are early versions of TRAMBONE and BLUE (OCEAN) ECHO. Plus there's Chet with the then short-lived ensemble "The Rhythm Rockers" on DIG THESE BLUES - These all being reissued on CD for the first time!
The material on GUITAR LEGEND concentrates on Chet's early sides, then jumps to cuts from selected '50's and '60's LP's - up through some great tunes he recorded in the '70's - ending with a piece from Chet's FIRST NASHVILLE GUITAR QUARTET LP, titled CAROLINA SHOUT which is totally out of place on this set.
Regarding the "4 previously unreleased tracks" as advertised on GUITAR LEGENDS. These already appeared on the 1993 Bear Family Records 4-CD box set of Chet titled GALLOPING GUITAR. No "new unissued" material here.
Chet's version of BLACK MOUNTAIN RAG is incorrectly listed in the liner notes as "taken from GALLOPIN' GUITAR" (10-inch LP)... Actually the CD includes Chet's much later version from the LP: PICKIN' MY WAY.
It would have been nice if they had used the original 45-RPM single recording of WINDY & WARM rather than Chet's later version from the already reissued LP: DOWN HOME (CD two-fer).
Don't get us wrong! This is a super set and highly recommended. GUITAR LEGEND could almost be called a "condensed version" of the earlier 4-CD Bear Family box. If you're in the market for Chet's early cuts, but don't want to pay the bucks for the Bear Family box, then this 2-CD set is the one to get!Guitar Legend: Rca Years Overview
