Sweet spirituals with that special Chet touch

"One of country music's greatest guitar players, RCA Nashville head Chet Atkins plies his ever-silky touch to a dozen old-time hymns, some better known than others. Chet takes it slow, which is pretty nice on the more vigorous melodies, (like "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" and "Lonesome Valley"). On the churchier numbers, though, it can get a little leaden. A nice new take on this material, with Chet's buttery electric guitar weaving a whole new all-instrumental experience of these fine old tunes. Recommended!"
