Norm Kass & Chet Atkins
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:53 pm
My son downloaded a CD for me by a Norm Kass & Chet Atkins (Buckaroo and other Guitar County & Western Favorites). I am wondering if anyone out there knows anything about this. I am actually wondering if it is really Chet. I don't think Chet recorded Buckaroo and actually it doesn't sound like he is on that tune. On the tunes that does sound like it could be Chet there are no definitive Chet licks and the "Chet parts" are not particularly difficult. So I'm wondering if it really is him. Also, who is Norm Kass? I know a couple of tunes on the Read My Licks CD were written or co-written by R. L. Kass and he was on the Read My Licks video as part of Chet's band. But I'm unfamiliar with Norm Kass. When I google Norm Kass all I can find is the CD my son downloaded for me (and info about someone running for office), but no bio or other info pertaining to a guitar player. Just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about this. I have been puzzling over this for a while and decided to check with the experts on the Chetboard. Thanks in advance for any information anyone may be able to tell me! Thanks.
