Chet Atkins is a legend within and without country music. In 1952 he put together the Country All-Stars and recorded this set of instrumentals (one song has vocals).  The music here is all intriguing. While it's billed as country, and there is country at the core of a lot of it, it really transcends that label, wandering into jazz and more. This is quite an intriguing set of music. This new edition is a 10-inch record on orange vinyl. It's also all class.

This has a bouncy old-school country sound at its heart. The twang guitar brings an intriguing musical texture to it.

A Spanish guitar vibe brings this into being, and the cut works out from there, reflecting that tone and style.
