Notes: An early recording by Chet playing his signature smooth guitar licks on his trusty Gretsch. Along with Chet we also get his older brother Jim on vocals. Jim, who had played rhythm guitar in a Chicago based trio with Les Paul, sings five of the songs with brother Chet and the band backing him while the other five tracks are Chet's to arrange instrumentally. While I would prefer more instrumentals and fewer vocal tracks the guitar still shines through. A rather young looking Chester holding a fine looking guitar and a friendly smile, inviting us to come on in and sit a spell.
