Review

In recent years, Chet Atkins has shared albums with Mark Knopfler, Suzy Bogguss, and Jerry Reed, but the veteran guitarist recorded this 1996 disc just the way the title suggests: Almost Alone.

Aside from the strings added to several cuts, only 3 of the 13 numbers feature any musicians other than Atkins. And on 11 of the tracks, only one Chet Atkins is present; in other words, those tracks feature a single take without overdubs. When it works, this minimalist format allows us to enjoy Atkins at his best--just 10 fingers and 6 strings. Too often, however, he can't resist his lifelong temptation to clutter up arrangements with sugary string charts. Still, he dazzles on such unaccompanied pieces as his own pretty pop tune "Happy Again" and Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek." --Geoffrey Himes
