Legendary for his technical innovations, it's his talents on the guitar that have secured him the name "Mr. Guitar" and made him one of country music's top-selling international artists. An 8-time Grammy winner, Chet has played on sessions by everyone from Hank Williams and Elvis Presley to the Everly Brothers and Paul McCartney. His 6 previous albums were critically acclaimed releases that achieved sales success based on strong media coverage and incredible retail support - that same strategy will be in effect for Almost Alone.Reviews:
''Almost Alone'' is an album by Chet Atkins. He was 71 at the time of the album's release. It is almost all solo guitar instrumentals. "Jam Man" won the 1997 Grammy award for Best Country & Western Instrumental Performance.
Chet replaced the two low strings on a Country Gentleman guitar with bass strings on "I Still Write Your Name in the Snow". There are no overdubs except for "Jam Man" and "You Do Something to Me". "Jam Man" uses a musical effect of the same name.
As part of the promotion for the release, Chet signed 125 Gibson Epiphone guitars that were given away in contests around the country. - Wikipedia
