Review

For better or worse, no one did more to shape the "Nashville Sound" than Chet Atkins. As a session guitarist, producer, and label executive, he took the western out of country & western, replacing the hard twang of traditional country guitar with a smoother "countrypolitan" polish. Though his instrumental recordings under his own name barely hint at the extent of his influence, the guitarist's impeccable touch, tone, and timing--a virtuosity of control rather than speed--rank him with the most renowned Nashville musicians. This 16-track companion volume to the comprehensively superior Guitar Legend: The RCA Years offers an eclectic selection of album tracks, minor singles, and a couple of previously unreleased performances, showcasing a range that extends from the jazz inflections of "Cherokee" to the blues of "One Man Boogie" to the flamenco-tinged classicism of "Carnavalito." As the closing "Liza" from the Gershwin songbook attests, Atkins may have defined the country sound of the '60s, but he wasn't limited to it. --Don McLeese
