Search - Chet Atkins :: East Tennessee Christmas

He's been called the King of the Pickers, but even that title doesn't do justice to Chet Atkins. His distinctive finger-picked playing has served as a model for generations of guitarists, both in and out of the country realm. This Christmas collection showcases the full range of Chet's playing, from the delicate touch applied on such hymns as "Away in a Manger" to the rousing flourishes that guarantee toes will tap to tunes like the title track and "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow." Sure, you'll be able to sing along, but unlike many instrumental albums, Chet's is full enough that sitting back to listen is even more pleasurable.--David Sprague
