Guitarist, songwriter, session man, record
producer and record company A&R man
Chet Atkins was a ubiquitous and highly
influential figure in Nashville through the
1950s and ‘60s, helping to shape the
industry’s output of country music as the
genre’s styles and sounds evolved into the
country/pop styles of the modern era.
His prowess as a guitarist was legendary,
and this collection focuses on that aspect of
his work.
Acrobat already has on catalogue a 2-CD set
devoted to his singles, which includes his
early hits (“The Chet Atkins Singles
Collection 1946-61” Acrobat ADDCD3254),
but this 59-track 2-CD collection focuses on
his early album output during the 1950s as
the LP format became established.
It features most the titles from his albums
“Gallopin. Guitar”, “Stringin' Along With
Chet Atkins”, “A Session With Chet Atkins”,
“Chet Atkins In Three Dimensions, and
“Finger Style Guitar” and selected titles from
“At Home” and “Hi-Fi In Focus”.
It showcases the many sides of his
instrumental artistry, as he interprets
material from across the spectrum of the
genres in his inimitable style.
It’s an entertaining and absorbing showcase
for his unique skills as a guitarist.
