Listening to this CD, which features Chester Atkins (as he was then known) accompanying Mother Maybelle Carter and the Carter Sisters, one gets an uncanny sense of d?j? vu -- not with Chet Atkins' work, as such, but, rather, with those Everly family broadcasts on the Everly Brothers' Roots album, featuring Ike Everly. Except here, instead of Don and Phil harmonizing, it's the Carter Sisters -- their singing shares the spotlight with his crisp, nimble-fingered playing, and the result is a rousing mix of country, bluegrass, gospel, and novelty tunes preserved mostly on transcription discs. The audio, preserved from surviving platters (which weren't supposed to survive), varies somewhat in quality, but the producers have done a more than fair job of making it consistent and rewarding. And fans who only know him in terms of his solo recordings may be surprised to heard Atkins as a very busy accompanist. ~ Bruce Eder Musical Guests Mother Maybelle & The Carter Sisters Jimmy Dean Faron Young   Compilation Appearances Tribute To Music Of Bob Wills Vol 2 Singing Ranger Essential George Jones Spirit Vol. 2-Teen Beat Silliest Songs Having Thumb Fun With My Frien 20 Greatest Hits Further Down The Old Plank Road Mflp's 20th Anniversary Collection Carter Sisters & Mother Maybelle With Chet At My Very Special(legacyed) Greetings From Nashville 40 Years Of Duets Carter Sisters Mother Maybelle And Ch George Jones:hits Then Till Now Celebration Of Stars:children's Music Me And Jerry/me And Chet   Associated Artists and Works Almeida, Laurindo Artists, Various Bogguss, Suzy Bogguss, Suzy Breau, Lenny Coleman, Jim Coleman, Jim Cramer, Floyd Ears, Rabbit Rabbit Ears Rabbit Ears Watson, Doc Watson, Doc   Technical Info Release Date : 07/20/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 32 Label : Country Routes (UK) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mono SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00008637903220    Related Videos Lost Highway: Willie Nelson
