(SEE PHOTO) ALSO THE RECORD COMES IN AN ORIGINAL RCA RECORDS INNER SLEEVE (SEE PHOTOS) ARTIST INFO-CHET ATKINS BIO/INFO- Chet Atkins, known as ‘Mr. Guitar’, was a guitarist able to tackle many styles, a pioneering Nashville record producer recognised as one of the main architects of the late 1950s ‘Nashville Sound’ and a successful record label executive. The most recorded solo instrumentalist in history, the quiet unassuming Chet Atkins was initially an aspiring vocalist when he was signed to an RCA Records back in 1948. With more than 100 albums to his credit, covering all styles of music, he has been a major influence on such guitar players as George Harrison, Albert Lee, Eric Clapton, and thousands more guitar-ace wannabes. Chester Burton Atkins was born on June 20, 1924 in a holler two miles from rural Luttrell, Tennessee, just northeast of Knoxville. His father James was an itinerant music teacher and his mother Ida played piano and sang. Able to play guitar, fiddle and banjo from quite a young age, his first instrument was a ukulele when he was just five years old. He would replace any broken strings with wires pulled off a screen door. His parents divorced in 1932, and young Chet began playing fiddle and later guitar with his brother and sister and their stepfather Willie Strevel. By this time, he was working with Maybelle Carter & the Carter Sisters, and had moved to Nashville. Possessing a pleasant, jazzy-voice, initially, he cut mainly vocal tracks, all of which failed to make an impression. Soon his guitar work was beginning to take over from his vocals, and he was being used increasingly as a session player. With the help and support of early country music pioneer Fred Rose, who developed the Acuff-Rose Publishing company and guided the career of Hank Williams, Chet soon became one of the Nashville’s top session men. He played on Hank Williams’ Your Cheatin’ Heart, the Louvin Brothers’ When I Stop Dreaming, Faron Young’s Goin’ Steady, Webb Pierce’s There Stands The Glass, The Carlisles’ Too Old To Cut The Mustard and dozens more country hits. His guitar instrumentals were being released on a regular basis by RCA and Steve Sholes began grooming him to supervise in the studio. He scored his first country hit as Chet Atkins & His Gallopin’ Guitar with Mister Sandman in 1955. By this time he had become a regular on the Grand Ole Opry and his instrumental albums like FINGER STYLE GUITAR, SESSION WITH CHET ATKINS, and STRINGIN’ ALONG WITH CHET ATKINS were gaining him wide acclaim. Gradually Chet changed the way country music sounded, first with his guitar, then as a producer and record executive. Sholes was mainly based at RCA Victor’s headquarters in New York, and increasingly began relying on Chet to supervise RCA’s Nashville recordings. Those early sessions were done with portable recording equipment in rented garages or offices. In 1956 Chet arranged Elvis Presley’s first Nashville sessions, resulting in the massive rock’n’roll breakthrough hit Heartbreak Hotel. RCA decided to build a recording studio in Nashville, and Sholes made Atkins studio manager when the facility opened in 1957. Given a free hand, he started experimenting and pushing the boundaries. In an effort to keep country music solvent after the rock’n’roll invasion, he patented slick, pop-tinged recordings and in a three-year period, between 1957 and 1960, was responsible for such ground-breaking country-crossover records as Jim Reeves’ Four Walls and He’ll Have To Go, Don Gibson’s Oh Lonesome Me, the Everly Brothers’ Bye Bye Love, the Browns’ The Three Bells and Hank Locklin’s Please Help Me I’m Fallin’. Country records produced by Atkins, Decca’s Owen Bradley and Columbia’s Don Law & Frank Jones, were all over the pop charts and were referred to as the ‘Nashville Sound.’ As a guitarist, Chet was without parallel. He played the guitar the way Fred Astaire danced. His fingers glided across the strings and the frets of his instrument so smoothly, so apparently effortlessly, that it seemed easy until you tried to replicate his movements. His intricate finger-picking style, in which his thumb supplied a bass line while his fingers created endless variations of melody and harmony, has influenced nearly every guitarist who picked up the instrument for the past sixty years. The Chet Atkins’ style might have been easy listening, but it was challenging playing. For 14 years he won Best Instrumentalist award in the Cashbox poll. His other awards include the Playboy Magazine Jazz Poll, Guitar Player Magazine Award, and Yamaha Music Award. At 49, he became the youngest to be elected to the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1973. From 1967 to 1988, he was named instrumentalist of the year nine times by the Country Music Association. He also won 14 Grammys, the most recent coming in 1997 for best country instrumental performance with the song Jam Man, a track from his album ALMOST ALONE. Among country artists, only Vince Gill has as many. In 1993, the Grammy-granting National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences presented Chet with its Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his: ‘Peerless finger-style guitar technique, his extensive creative legacy documented on more than 100 albums, and his influential work on both sides of the recording console as a primary architect of the ‘Nashville Sound.’ As a performer, he made appearances on almost every major television show of his time. He played the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960 and was invited to play the White House by President John Kennedy. He performed many concerts with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops and in the early 1970s toured and recorded with Homer and Jethro, under the name the Nashville String Band. When Paul McCartney came to Nashville to record, he called Chet and asked him to set up a recording session for him to cut a song his father had written. Along with Floyd Cramer and several other musicians he took McCartney into the studio to record Walking In The Park With Eloise and Bridge Over the River Suite. To be universally recognised as ‘Mr. Guitar’ is as high an accomplishment as possible in the country music world. Certainly country music could claim him, but Chet Atkins was no less respected in the realms of rock’n’roll, folk, jazz or classical music. Not only did his records sell well all across the world, he also designed guitars for Gibson and Gretsch. Chet Atkins died at his Nashville home on June 30, 2001 after long, repeated bouts with cancer that included the removal of a malignant tumour from his colon in 1973 and one from his brain in 1997. He was survived by his wife of more than fifty years, singer Leona Johnson, whom he said was the only woman he ever dated. They named their daughter, Merle, after Merle Travis. He always came across as a quiet, thoughtful man. His personality was marked by a dry, deadpan wit that delighted in risqué humour and corny gags and often intimidated new, awed acquaintances. In summing up his career, Chet told The Nashville Network: ‘I’m not the greatest talent, but I have originality. I’m a famous guitar player, I’ll admit to that. I’m good, there are many better players than me, I just got there first.’ NOTE: STILL LIMITED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. PLEASE CHECK THE SHIPPING TAB TO MAKE SURE I SHIP TO YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE BIDDING.
