A Master and his MusicAugust 8, 2010 Lois Lambert(Ekalaka, MT, US) Chet Atkins is a genius, and this CD shares his genius with other noted performers. His not shy about sharing the stage or even letting another performer take center stage. That is another trademark of genius. Anyone who is familiar with guitar music should enjoy this.
A Highly Recommended Atkins AlbumApril 10, 2010 John J. Hanrahan If one wanted only one album by Chet Atkins, this would be the one because it presents a variety of the maestro's style and has Dolly Parton on one cut to boot. Atkins is without a doubt the premier guitarist. Too bad he is no longer with us.
Nobody mentioned its in HDCD ! ! !June 10, 2009 Mike McAteer(Mission Viejo, CA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
How is it that a nearly perfect album can be released by a nearly perfect guitar virtuoso like Chet Atkins and nobody mentions that it's released in the High Definition Compact Disc (HDCD) format?
Zowie! Wait till you hear it on a player with the HDCD capability. My lord, it is brilliant and smooth all at the same time. Plus, you'd swear Dolly is right in the room with you when she sings her bit.
There are so many releases in this format, but you have to check the backs of your CDs and look for the small HDCD wrapped in a rectangle outline. There seem to be many more country artists than other genres released in HDCD.
You simply have to google/yahoo/msn search for CD players equipped with it, and they're not that expensive. My suggestion is that you shouldn't wait, as they may go the way of typical electronics that get replaced by new technology sooner or later. But you'll be so glad you get one to capture this somewhat unknown feature on some discs that you just may happen to own already! You will have fun checking your library for them...so go ahead, check out your CDs and see how many you might have!
My uncle loved itMay 14, 2007 seby_deadbee(Seattle, WA USA) A very accessible record that my uncle, an avid Chet Atkins fan, loved when he recieved it as a "new car" present (bye-bye cassette tapes).

This is a fine collection of Chet's work. With a little help from Dolly Parton, Les Paul and Jerry Reed. Chet rated himself worlds 5th best guitar player. After hearing this CD you'll shake your head and wonder, "who could have done better?"
