Patrick FReMEAUX The legendary Chet Atkins was much more than the emblematic country music guitar player. A guitar master and celebrity with a unique, subtle, sharp and clean sound, with a compelling fingerpicking style, he embodied the American guitar myth. A giant nicknamed Mister Guitar, he became a session man for Elvis Presley and hundreds more; an influential Producer who created the Nashville Sound and a precursor of surf rock, the hard-working Atkins involved himself in a number of genres with finesse and style: rock, pop, as well as blues, jazz, gypsy music, classical and, of course, country. The classic Gretsch Country Gentleman electric guitar was named after one of his tunes and several guitars were soon labeled the Chet Atkins models. Indispensable to any guitar lover, the cream of his dazzling solo recordings is packed into this definitive anthology of his golden age, concocted and annotated by Bruno Blum.

From her first national hit in 1967, the ironically titled 'Dumb Blonde' (nobody with a lick of sense ever accused dolly of that!) and the legendary '70s duets with Porter Wagoner, from her first number one single ('Joshua') in 1970 to her 26th number one in 1991 ('Rockin' Years,' a duet with Ricky Shelton) and all train stops in between, dolly has it all. 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' from the fertile three-way collaboration with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, the amazing crossover pop smashes, including the heartfelt duet with Kenny Rogers 'Islands In The Stream,' as well as revered juke box staples '9 to 5' and 'Here You Come Again,' this 101 track/4 CD treasure trove covers all the bases. You may never have to leave home again, but if you do, be sure to take Dolly along for the ride.
