Chet Atkins - Our Man In Nashville
Review by Kevin Gebhardt
Our Man In Nashville by Chet Atkins is a timeless classic that showcases the legendary guitarist's mastery of country music. Released in 1963, the album features Atkins' signature fingerstyle guitar playing on a mix of original compositions and covers of popular country songs.
From the opening track "One Mint Julep" to the closing "Boo Boo Stick Beat," Our Man In Nashville is a joyous celebration of country music. Atkins' guitar work is impeccable, as he effortlessly blends country, jazz, and pop influences into his own unique sound.
The album also features a stellar cast of musicians, including Floyd Cramer on piano and Boots Randolph on saxophone. Their contributions add depth and texture to the arrangements, making each track a true gem.
Standout tracks on the album include "Yakety Axe," a playful and upbeat instrumental that showcases Atkins' technical prowess, and "Tammy," a beautiful ballad that highlights his sensitive side.
