While I've been an avid fan for 50+ years and thought I've heard everything that he recorded, I'm obviously wrong! I'm most pleasantly surprised to hear something new! Oh my, he was such a total master of the guitar and truly the Country Gentleman. Thank you for sharing this recording!

[sonicpawnsyou]

Wow, thanks for the upload!

[ib422000]

Who recorded or wrote this tune originally? This versionis so uniquely different!

[brainhurts1]

@ib422000 Man Of Mystery. Written by a chap called Michael Carr and a much slower orchestral version was used as the theme music for a series of British 'B' films of the Edgar Wallace mystery stories.

thanks..

Wow this is good stuff. I have never heard this recording. You seem to have a huge a collection here doug haha. Any chance you have his recording of Smile? I've always wanted to hear it but i cant find it anywhere!

[georgegillette]

A real gem! %") Thanks Doug.

If you want raw rockabilly and balls-out bluegrass - it's out there. But it's kinda sacred sounds. You've gotta be worthy of finding it.

Meanwhile - The Chetmeister has earnt the right to play it his own goddam way. A truly great guitarist!

[snarnok]

Is this from a Chet Atkins single? I've never seen a single discography, only lp discographies of Chet. Did Chet have many single only releases?

[daffydoug]

This was s single. Chet released quite a few of those.I've posted many of them, will post more in the future.

[snarnok]

Thank you! I look forward to watching them.

[frankiehiyo]

I agree with daffydoug!the more you listen the more you like.This a fine interpretation of this tune,similar to what Jorgen Ingmann did with his version of Apache.Close enough, but good in it's own way."Cheesy" come on now!

[florez411]

I think it's really interesting that every musician who has covered this song hasn't been able to make any successful attempts at making this song "Their" own like Jimi Hendrix did with All Along The Watchtower, as opposed to the original version by Bob Dylan

[daffydoug]

"It ain't easy being cheesy."

[pantherpawed]

Any Shadows fan knows this one - cheesy Chet (well he did have his cheesy side, like we all do) but I love it

[daffydoug]

Amazingly, even though I was the one who posted this, it took me several listens before I actually liked the tune. It grew on me!

[hurlevent52]

Perfection as always ...

Reminds me "Travellin'" (My Favorites Guitar)

[anitadavideduo]

Great Chet as always!

[daffydoug]

Glad you guys liked it!
