Standard Brands (album)

Standard Brands is an album by guitarists Lenny Breau and Chet Atkins that was released in 1981.

Atkins was instrumental in getting Breau his first recording contract after hearing one of the latter's studio tapes.

Atkins stated in an interview for Frets magazine: "Paul Yandell first brought Lenny to my attention around 1966.

[3] Writing for Allmusic, music critic Robert Taylor wrote of Standard Brands: "The pairing of these two guitar legends for a series of guitar duets was long overdue, but thankfully was well preserved and finally reissued...

The interplay between the duo is a fascinating lesson in the old teaching the new and vice versa... A wonderful piece of guitar history.
