Summary, Etc. "Chet Atkins was one of the most legendary country guitarists of the 1950s, but his influence spans both instruments and time. The Country Gentleman developed a distinctive picking style that helped pioneer 'the Nashville Sound.' Atkins's musical prowess impacted the jazz, blues, and folk styles of the 1950s and expanded country music appeal to pop music fans. In the more than two decades since his death, Nashville has remained his not-so-humble-anymore domain, but this musical deep dive is the first long-form exploration of Atkins's discography and legacy since the guitarist's own autobiography more than fifty years ago. With never-before-seen detailed analyses of Atkins's overwhelming industry influence, this is a perfect read for music fans everywhere." -- Description provided by publisher.
