Chet Atkins • Christmas With Chet Atkins

 

Review by Matthew Greenwald

One of the most underrated holiday platters of all-time, Christmas with Chet Atkins shows the father of country-rock guitar performing 16 holiday standards in his own incomparable style. Although the uptempo stuff such as "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Winter Wonderland" are excellent readings, it's in the slower-paced selections that Atkins really shines. His version of "Silver Bells" is, quite simply, one of the best versions of the standard ever, and possibly one of Atkins' most arresting performances of all-time. Also excellent is the medley of "The Coventry Carol" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman." Overall, criminally underrated, this disc should be rated up there with such fodder as Charlie Brown Christmas. Gorgeous.

Una de las fuentes navideñas más infravaloradas de todos los tiempos, Christmas with Chet Atkins muestra al padre de la guitarra de country-rock con 16 estándares de vacaciones en su propio estilo incomparable. A pesar de que el contenido de uptempo como "Jingle Bell Rock" y "Winter Wonderland" son excelentes lecturas, Atkins realmente brilla en las selecciones de ritmo más lento. Su versión de "Silver Bells" es, simplemente, una de las mejores versiones del estándar, y posiblemente una de las actuaciones más impresionantes de Atkins de todos los tiempos. También es excelente la mezcla de "The Coventry Carol" y "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman". En general, criminalmente subestimado, este disco debería ser clasificado con tal contenido como el de Charlie Brown Christmas. Maravilloso.
