Chet Atkins - Caribbean Guitar (1962)

With each new Chet Atkins album, he seems to pick up his guitar & go on an adventure into some new style of music, on what seems like an endless musical spectrum, from country to pop to jazz to classical. On each new release he blends what he's done before with something new. With Caribbean Guitar, Chet takes a dip in the Latin rhythm pool. It's generally a relaxing album that covers Mexican tunes like The Bandit, the Haitian composed Yellow Bird, & The Banana Boat Song. There's nothing special on here, but it's nice to listen to on a cold winter night, dreaming of relaxing on a boat in the warm Caribbean.
