Yes, right here you've got two of my favorite guitars players.

 

Chet's work with Jerry Reed is also stellar & well worth seeking out.

Chet and anybody makes for an interesting combination. Been watching this material for some time now.

 

I think there's a piece or two on Youtube with Chet, Leo Kottke and Doc.

 

Thing is, we're talking about pickers who are seasoned as well as skilled and talented. There's a certain "something" that IMHO comes from that.

"Magic"?

 

As to the OP; two of the undisputed Greats having fun. Genius.

Oh, forgot to mention Chet with Merle Travis.

 

There's another beautiful combo,

and Merle of course was Chet's early influence.

I've been into all these players for years like Milo. Jerry was Chet's son-in-law... but we all know that. When Mark sorta "came out of the closet" and professed his love for country...several players I know couldn't believe that Mr. "Sultans of Swing" was a country boy at heart...then again...what about Albert Lee?? Several other Brits are great country pickers...ie Ray Flacke from Ricky Skaggs' band.
