Sails Reviews:
Hotflash help 
2009-11-06 - I found some relief from my hot flashes within a week of starting to use this cream. I have been very happy with my purchase.
Rare Atkins Cd worth the hunt
2008-01-27 - Long time Chet Atkins devotees (there are no "fans", only worshippers) love the late greatest guitarist of all time for his astonishing mastery of any type of music he felt like exploring and putting all comers to shame in the process. From old country to show tunes, to covering the Beatles and working with Mark Knopfler and Les Paul, he did it all.
"Sails" is a companion piece to "C.G.P.", both '80's releases of smooth jazz/pop music that showed his contemporary side. "Sails" is hard to find, but can be ordered on Amazon. It is a synth and strings heavy mellow outing, his playing more sparse, serving the melodies and avoiding overplaying, which shows how great he was, understanding economy is just as vital as shredding. For those in a quiet contemplative mood, wishing for some real melody or soothing jagged nerves, it can't be beat. Far from wimpy Muzak crap, "Sails" is tasteful and top notch, which one could expect nothing less from this giant of American music.
Five Stars For "Sails" !
2007-05-19 - I found out about this album while checking a problem with my father's stereo. My brother had given this CD to him as a gift. I borrowed it from my father and found myself not wanting to give it back! Finaly I purchased my own copy and I never get tired of it. Let me say I am not a Chet Atkins fan by any means. In fact this is NOT my normal type of music that I prefer. But, this album is in a word, Excellent! It is very relaxing and helps me unwind, but it is not at all boring or repetitious. The mix and sound quality are excellent as well. If you enjoy instumental guitar music and don't have this in your collection you're missing out. The first song "Sails" opens with waves crashing on the shore and then every song after just flows together that before you know it, the album is over. It is also a great album to listen to on a Sunday morning with your second cup of coffee or anytime you just want to relax. In all honesty, I can't see how anyone who appreciates good music would not love this album. This guy was truly one of the guitar greats and is accompanied by fine musicians on this album. Treat yourself and buy a copy!
This remains a favorite!
2004-07-07 - My husband (a guitar picker) & I have enjoyed SAILS for several years & it remains a favorite. Yes, it is different from what one usually expects from Chet. I picked it up from a bin by chance, knowing if Chet did it, it HAD to be good. My husband is also an avid sailor, so the combination had to be a winner! We made a tape of it to play in our pontoon boat tape player & it is so perfect just "cruising down the river" leisurely enoying friends, food, & nature with our music.
I am so glad to see it still available to give fellow boaters that love it like we do.
Country Jazz? 
2002-02-07 - This is a great release. I currently own the LP and I am about to obtain the CD. Chet is assisted with numerous jazz musicians. The songs on this album will not only relax you, but will also put you in the mood to tap your feet.
