Album Description2007 reissue of this 1957 album by the guitar great, now more than doubled in length with the addition of 16 bonus tracks recorded the same year. The term 'Hi-Fi' was a buzz word of the music business during the '50s and many artists of that era recorded albums using the most advanced technologies of the time in order to put the qualities of the `modern stereo systems' to the test. Of all the albums that were recorded in this manner, HI-FI In Focus was particularly effective; the sounds of the guitar were crystalline and the tracks are among Atkins best. In fact, many consider this to be Atkins finest recording period. From Classical and Jazz to Country and Pop, Chet was able to play any style with conviction and that is more than evident on this CD.
