Product Details

The architect of the "Nashville Sound," Chet Atkins spent the late 1950s bridging country's rootsy traditions with the polished, pop-leaning production style that would define an era. Recorded in Hollywood with Farnon's orchestral arrangements wrapping around Atkins' impossibly fluid fingerpicking, this 1959 session captures a guitarist who was already rewriting what the instrument could do, long before the world fully caught up.

Chet Atkins in Hollywood is the title of a recording by American guitarist Chet Atkins, released in 1959. The title takes it's name from the fact that Atkins recorded it in Hollywood. The lush string arrangements are by Dennis Farnon. Atkins later (in 1961) re-recorded this album in his home studio, using the orchestra tapes from the Hollywood session. The original LP lists Atkins as the producer, the 1961 reissue lists "... with Dennis Farnon and his orchestra" and also lists Dick Peirce as producer.
