Chet Atkins Interview in 1991

[@williamwynne1112]

A very modest educated man, a surprise to find this interview. Thanks!

[@martinspencer366]

He was the smoothest, greatest all round guitarist ever and such a great human being.

[@allanrussack2844]

Well, I enjoyed this interview and I can’t help liking the down to earth attitude of Chet.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Nobody knew the scene like Chet, a great conversationist, as well as TOP Musician. I had met him in the UK, the year before. And attended his Bristol show

Chet was the greatest all around guitarist there ever was but he didn't record many vocals that I liked. The duets he recorded with Mark for Neck & Neck were great. Their voices blended pretty well I think. "Next Time I'm in Town" and "Poor Boy Blues" were mighty fine. And of course their guitar playing was superb. Same for the duets Chet and Jerry Reed recorded together.

how did you learn to play your way? Chet: I kind of made it up. That's the reason you're sittin' here and talking to me right now! hahah. gotta love Chet!

It looks like this interview was conducted in a certain office in Scranton PA

[@eddylauterback1312]

His biggest selling albums were the 2 with Les Paul

I admire Chet very much.

What happened to the Audio?

[@cds957]

There was NO audio!!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

You know what I think of the Nashville Sound, and how it contributed to the continuing melding of country and pop music? Well, as a fan of old time hillbilly music, Western swing, bluegrass, honky tonk, Bakersfield, outlaw country and neo-traditional country, I'd say "YEE-NAW!" to Mr. Atkins, Owen Bradley _and_ Billy Sherrill.

[@drewmanster6043]

I like Chet and think he did what was necessary, but country as a whole has gone over the deep end of too “pop” since he has passed. I really wouldn’t mind going way, way back with country.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@drewmanster6043 I think Billy Sherrill was responsible for furthering this trend.

[@DoubleRuination]

I do not know why anyone would care what you think about anything, let alone the Nashville Sound.

[@billhatcher9303]

audio is just as bad as the interviewer

[@cds957]

exactly!!
