pleasant, relaxing. Not award winning, but better than elevator type music.

In Response to the "Critics"

""The Critic's" evaluation is way off the mark. This album is filled with more than a few of the greatest guitarists alive. "Dull" is hardly the word to describe this album. It is true that the songs have a very laid-back sound, almost 'easy listening'style about them. Usually not my style but Mr. Guitar is Mr. Guitar. Chet and his buddys pull it off just fine."

Still in tuned

"First of all Chet Atkins is a legend. Moreover, I will have a biased opinion of this CD. I worked on this record. It was at the mixing stage and I assisted the mixing engineer during the process. This had been one of the most memorable moments of my career in the music business.



All the tunes of this CD have a laid back feel to it. I must say that having this feel is in no way meaning tired, or played out. Chet and friends have played their licks deliberately. Strumming, picking, doodling, and shredding, all done tastefully with Chet sitting near giving an approving nod and this CD is the culmination of those sessions.



This is not a concept album, but each song ties in seamlessly. Although there are flavors for everyone, the surprise is not realizing you are already listening to the next song. How cool is that?



The title befits the CD because once you start listening you will stay tuned."
