Chester & Lester ,

is a collaborative album by guitarists Chet Atkins and Les Paul released in 1976.

It was recorded in the mid-1970s when Chet was in his fifties and Les in his sixties. Chet coaxed Les 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. ….Read More

Emma Cook ,

Folk singer/songwriter Emma Cook was born and primarily raised in Toronto, Canada, where she began formal voice training at an early age and took a year of guitar lessons in her early teens. After initially heading toward a degree in voice at Dalhousie University, she decided she did not want to pursue a classical music career and instead began writing and singing her own songs. Forming her own label, Emmazing Records, she self-released her debut album, Manifesto, in 2003. A grant from the Ontario Arts Council helped her finish and issue her second album, Hit & Run, in the summer of 2008, and she toured Canada and played dates in the U.S. to promote it.
She added three bonus tracks from Manifesto to Hit & Run for an American release on March 31, 2009, by which time she had embarked on her first proper U.S. tour, which included a stop at the South by Southwest Music Conference, where she unveiled the Emma Cook Trio, including bass player Gord Mowat and drummer Tim Shia.
