Product Review

Chet Atkins played a major role in creating what came to be known as 'The Nashville sound'. Through his smooth and eclectic jazzy guitar playing and ambitious production ideas he brought a hitherto unknown sophistication to country music that would see it break through into the mainstream during the sixties and seventies. Eclectic Guitar showcases Chet Atkins' incredible virtuosity and versatility and his extraordinary taste. Here jazz standards such as 'Honeysuckle Rose' and tenderly sit comfortably alongside his first big pop hit 'Mr. Sandman', classical repertoire such as 'Minute Waltz' and beautifully played country and rock tunes 'Alice Blue Gown' and 'St Louis Blues'. The overall effect is quite wonderful.

This is a great CD to listen to at work. When working in a cubicle and in a stressful job, it keeps you relaxed. I have enjoyed every song on this CD.
