Chet Atkins: The Greatest Songs of Mister Guitar
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2016 10:46 am
I just finished reading the nook book "Chet Atkins: The Greatest Songs of Mister Guitar" by Mark Reinhart. I really enjoyed seeing all of the info about some of Chet's great recordings. It also prodded me to check out my LPs and 45s and give a listen to some of the songs as they were discussed. I hadn't heard many of them in quite awhile and it was just great to hear them again. It was just an excellent way to spend a few weeks. The book had a lot of great info in it and I think I learned what keys Chet actually played some of the songs in, since he often tuned to a different tuning. There were actually a few of songs I didn't have on LP so I'll have to check out my Bear Family CD set and other collections to see if I can find them there...some of the older ones are there, I'm sure. Anyway I had fun hearing Chet's music again and I really enjoyed listening to vinyl recordings again...that was a gift. Back to the stash for the CDs now, so I can continue.
Take care.
