Atkins and Knopfler perform the Boots Randolph tune, "Yakety Sax" that Atkins, decades earlier, turned into a country hit after renaming it "Yakety Axe." The two guitarists also perform the Django Reinhardt ballad, "Tears," employing a delicate and introspective touch.
Together, the two guitar greats perform a wide variety of music encompassing country, pop, and even European jazz influences. Yakety Axe - Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler. Guitar teams up with Dire Straits' guitarist Mark Knopfler. Chet Atkins' role as record producer in the '60s and '70s made the Nashville sound heard and loved throughout the world. My only complaint regarding Neck and Neck has to do with the placement of Yakety Axe, a remodeling of Chet’s 1965 hit featuring a new arrangement and lyrics courtesy of Merle Travis. Atkins' style grew out of his admiration for Merle Travis, and expanded Travis' signature syncopated thumb-and-fingers roll into new territory.
Without Chet Atkins, country music may never have crossed over into the pop charts in the '50s and '60s. Atkins originally recorded Yakety Axe, a parody of Boots Randolphs.
