Album Notes
Producers include: Chet Atkins, Mike Lipskin, Bob Ferguson, John D. Loudermilk, Jerry Reed.
Compilation producer: Steve Lindsey.
This is part of RCA's Essential Series.
Without Chet Atkins' influence, both country music and the music world would be very different today. While he never recorded a No. 1 hit, Atkins almost single-handedly created the Nashville Sound, a sound that's captured on THE ESSENTIAL CHET ATKINS. Atkins' style is smooth and polished, lyrical and undeniably infectious; but his real legacy is that he kept country music afloat when the overpowering surge of rock & roll threatened to sweep it under.
THE ESSENTIAL CHET ATKINS features Atkins' chart toppers, appropriately beginning with "Mr Sandman" a tune that went to No. 13 on the country charts in 1955 and sparked Atkins outstanding career. Also included here is Atkins' famous instrumental, "Yakety Axe." Finally, Atkins performs touching versions of Paul McCartney's "Yesterday" and the famous Scott Joplin rag, "The Entertainer." An essential item for anybody interested in a general survey of this guitar legend's music.
