Great addition to Christmas Memories
I didn't own this release on record and don't have the same pre-conceived notions on it. Yes, I'll admit it.

I couldn't tell you that it was mastered for CD at the wrong speed like other reviewers.

What I could tell you is that I didn't hear this release until I picked up the CD. And no matter what it is a great addition to a Christmas collection. There's no other guitarist like Chet Atkins. He was a master of the six-string and this release provides great reditions of Yultide faves, only the way Chet can do it.

Maybe this sounded better on vinyl and we got cheated when it was remastered to CD. Nevertheless, it's Chet Atkins playing Christmas tunes. . . what more persuasion do you need?!.


The Best
Chet's version of Jingle Bell Rock was used for background on all the radio advertisements during that period at Christmas time. I have owned a copy of this on vinyl since it was originally released. Even today this song is widely played around the holidays. With the inclusion of the Anita Kerr singers this is easily the best Christmas Album of all time. .


Wonderful Christmas album
Blue Christmas is my favorite as it seems the guitar is "crying". This is beautiful guitar work: some acoustic and some electric and it is a nice mix. .


Guitar Genius!!!
It's too bad that he is no longer with us. Chet Atkins at his Christmas best! He gives a twist (and a twang) to some yuletide standards. :-(.


Chet Atkins
It is beautiful. I have long been a fan of Chet Atkins and this CD does not dissapoint.
