Chester Burton Atkins

[bob adams]

He reckoned his Bronze up at Music City Row was 'the most beautiful thing he ever saw'!

I have to say he is not wrong!

Fabulous footage here! .................... Make a coffee an watch this ........it is seriously awesome!



For me before steel guitar there was Chet! How he influenced us all!

Then we brought in steel! .. At which point !!!!!.............Trini Lopez comes to mind! with Lloyd and Floyd!




What's not to like!

Thanks Bob, a great tribute to a country legend.

Chet's timing was incredibly rock solid,and although there's been players who fly his flag, I don't think there's any who have managed to get near that beautiful 'relaxed' vibe. I think it was Jimmy Capps that said, in the video, "it was like listening to honey"....bang on

And, I wasn't aware of anything other than If I Had A Hammer from Trini Lopez. Nice version of Crazy Arms, raised up by Lloyd's playing....great solo

Thanks Bob.
