Chet Atkins - Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins (1955)

How about we go stringin' along with some more Chet Atkins on my growing collection of album reviews? This record is actually a reissue of an earlier 10 inch with the same title, with a few singles from 45's thrown in here & there for good measure. It's a great Chet Atkins collection, heavy on the blues, rags, & breakdowns with the right amount of country guitar to bring it all together. Black Mountain Rag stands out as a nice reinterpritation of the classic Wasbash Cannonball, while it's very nice to hear Chet meander through The 3rd Man Theme. There is a lot to like on here.
