Default Chet Atkins (and friends) Appreciation Thread

So, if you think you know music, I think you should know Chet Atkins!

He dies in 2001, aged 77, and was a famous country musician known for the smoother Nashville style. He worked for the RCA label and signed a lot of famous artists like Waylon Jennings, Jerry Reed and Dolly Parton. He's also played, jammed and recorded with a number of others, f.ex Les Paul, Leo Kottke and Mark Knopfler.

So, let's use this thread to celebrate the old man and post some of our favourite songs, either they're with Chet alone or with band or friends.


Here he is along with Jerry Reed playing Jerry's Breakdown from him and Reed's 1972 album "Me & Chet"!
