As much respect as I have for the great Chet Atkins, this version is just way too cheesy for my liking. The guitar doesn't really do the song justice in my opinion.
I agree wholeheartedly with IntelInside2020's comment about Tatum's version being the definitive one (though I have a soft spot for Louis Armstrong... but what jazz lover hasn't?). The way Tatum plays it, you'd never believe it was just one person and one piano!
I am sorry you feel that way about Chet's version. I just listened to tatums version.... We call that making noise where I come from. And yes I believe it was one 3 year old playing on 1 piano. No offense, that aint up to Chet's standards sorry!
Cheesy is not quite the way I'd express Chet's arrangement--more like it's Chet's guitar arrangement and not meant to be compared to Tatum's great arrangement...Jack Baker NYC
I first heard him in 1961 when I baught his Workshop album and have listened to him ever since. you want to take up knitting after watching him play(wanna buy a Gibson)
I think he is the greatest guitar player of all times "CHET ATKINS" is the name. His music will live forever...

Chet is awesome but, I'm so used to Art Tatum's version that everything else doesn't measure up.
