''Chester & Lester'' is a collaborative album by guitarists Chet Atkins and Les Paul released in 1976. It was recorded in the mid-1970s when Atkins was in his fifties and Paul in his sixties. Atkins coaxed Paul out of his decade-long retirement for this recording. The liner notes state there is very little overdubbing and the majority of the album was live in the studio. ''Chester & Lester'' peaked at No. 11 on Billboard's Country album chart and No. 172 on the Pop album chart. It peaked at No. 27 on the Country chart again in 1978. At the Grammy Awards of 1976, ''Chester & Lester'' won the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance. ==Reissues== * Both ''Chester & Lester'' and ''Guitar Monsters'' were released on CD in 1989 by Pair Records as ''Masters of the Guitar: Together'' with some tracks omitted.〔(Allmusic review of Masters of the Guitar. )〕 * In 1998, ''Chester and Lester'' and the duo's follow-up release ''Guitar Monsters'' were reissued intact on one CD on One Way Records. * ''Chester & Lester'' was reissued in 2007 on RCA Nashville/Legacy with four bonus tracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chester and Lester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
