Hard to believe Mr. Atkins is 20yrs gone. So profoundly glad we have these videos...

Love this song!❤ love you Steve Wariner! Love Mr. Chet!

My Daddy still has an 8 track of Chet,,, back in the day we would listen to it,, plus Glenn Campbell,,, on all of our trips,,

Man, I love that song. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful. My blood pressure goes down 10 points listening to this.

A masterpiece from 2 of the greatest. Absolutely beautiful.👍

Playin with Chet, priceless honor.

So Beautiful! Two of the greatest! Miss you Chet! RIP my friend!

This song is on everyone of my playlists. It's in my top 3 favorite songs of all time.

such a great tune! makes you feel sailing in the seas...Love it the most!

A beautiful guitar player. Rip chet.

Can't be more beautiful than this...💖

Two of the best. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Steve managed to do that words and all on one of his most recent Wariner Wednesdays and it was fantastic then and even better to see it with his hero here

Love that tune Steve. Thanks for posting.

I doubt anybody will ever play like Chet again

Beautiful !!!

This the epitome of great art. Melancholic and soaring In a flinch. Thanks to John Hall for the composition! Sublime

Imagine being able to say you taught Chet Atkins anything.

love it!!

Only a few people in this world can play an instrument and a blind man could say who it was playing it. Earl Scruggs, Floyd Cramer and most definitely Chet Atkins. Absolutely beautiful song Steve, thanks for sharing. I remember my grandmother playing Chet early in the morning for us.

Sails; was one of my favorites alum’s ever; Country, jazz. Yea Mark Knopfler was outstanding but Steve is every bit as beautiful a guitar player as shown here. I miss the New Nashville Cats sound, glad Mark O’Connor and Albert Lee are still around. Country Jazz has evaporated, since started by Jerry Reed and Chester, and progressed by Tony Rice. Pat Metheny now sustains me for guitar, but curious what Steve is up to.

I saw both of you, in my hometown RS Kentucky... several years ago!!! I'm a fan for sure!

Just amazing and (also ) makes me feel sad and makes me remember all the close friends that have passed away ~. REALLY painful . and now, I’m an old man tearing up in my eyes. . (Last friend to die was in June 30th , 2022 ) the most painful .

Thank you, gentlemen...

On his latest "Sunday String Along" (4/30/2023) Steve's good friend and fellow finger-style virtuoso Doyle Dykes alludes to this oh-so-memorable tune. Just left Doyle this note: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNFmq9Kps7XclI0.html "Beginning around the 5:15 mark Doyle plays the most beautiful rendition of IT IS WELL (with my soul) that I have ever heard. Don't you love the look of peace that descends on his face when Doyle Dykes plays a favorite hymn on perhaps his favorite guitar. Love that at around the 8:35 mark Doyle 'quotes' the refrain of an obscure but unforgettable melody Chet Atkins recorded in 1987 for one of his first albums for Columbia Records. A 70's song called SAILS - composed by a then- husband and wife songwriting team - John & Johanna Hall - for the group 'Orleans' (they had a major hit, “Dance With Me” - another song Chet loved). Steve Wariner recorded his version of Sails the summer of 1993 (and sang the song's poignant, seldom-heard lyric). Search for "Sails" and there are two of Doyle Dykes' good friends on a duet that I hadn't seen before. Really, is there anything you can't find at KZfaq? Thanks for sharing Steve Wariner. My wife and I saw your concert here in Winnipeg two decades ago and to this day it is the best 'live' performance by a country artist we ever attended. Celebrated elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

Grazie!!!!!!

Love it! But now I've got to find a video and hear Steve SING!

CGP Steve Wariner

Just think if Stevie Ray Vaughan was in on this song.
