Critic's Review
Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
At first glance, this project, which would be Joe Pass' final recording, might seem a bit unlikely. Pass is teamed up with country guitarist Roy Clark to play a set of Hank Williams tunes, but the date is actually quite successful. Clark has long been a closet jazz player; many of Williams' tunes have attractive chord changes, and Pass had his longtime rhythm section (rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey) serving as a solid foundation. Such songs as "Hey, Good Lookin'," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" and "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" work quite well in this setting. Since Clark (a brilliant guitarist himself) had long been a Joe Pass fan, the results are both competitive and complementary. Recommended.

A very nice collection with two guitar legends going to town and putting a jazzy spin on some favorites. The level of invention is high and the playing is seamless. Recommended

The contrasting of two heavy weight guitarist's in there respective styles Jazz& Country,playing the simplistic music of Hank Williams is just breathtaking to listen to.They milk so much feel& passion, out of these wonderful standards.Would make old Hank Proud.

What an unlikely but incredibly happy combo. Joe Pass and Roy Clark - who woulda thunk it?! Get a good visual and inside info on this incredible gig from Google video (type in Joe Pass Roy Clark). I hated it when I heard that Joe Pass went to be with his Maker but I gotta say ... what a great exit CD. This is wonderful music played with taste, respect, and friendship from two wonderful gentlemen. Buy this album for yourself and friends. You'll be glad you did.
