CD ReviewsAn American master musician 04/29/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Most folks have heard Hank's work without realizing it on countless pop country tunes as one of the three monster session guitarists of the 50's (Grady Martin and Chet Atkins being the other two) . A fine retrospective showcasing his astonishing flatpicking speed (Sugar Foot Rag, 7th and Union) as well as his fine jazz chops (E String Rag). Always tasteful, yet every bit the peer of speedpickers like Jimmy Bryant and Joe Maphis." A jazz giant . | Chicago, IL USA | 03/03/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Garland is not 'good at jazz for a country guy', he's jazz all the way, and one of the best,(actually, my favorite). Garland manages to play rings around most guitarists, and yet never show off or use any chops tricks.It's all musical, and with the most beautiful tone. This is earlier stuff than 'Move', less sophisticated,more country, less jazzy. You need both this and 'Move' to get an idea of the music Garland mastered."
