Chet Atkins "One Mint Julep"

How can you not love this tune? With all the saucy vocals, that biting sax, and Chet's guitar complete with effects...this is a winner! A true classic!

Sounds like Boots Randolph on sax and Floyd Kramer on piano - great session guys. Why is Sultan of Swing in the pic ?

[daffydoug]

Because I was dealing with a very sparse collection of Chet photos at the time, and couldn't be choosy.

That's DEFINITELY Boots and Floyd! Unmistakable sounds!

NOW I KNOW FOR SURE MY MEMORY IS COMPLETELY GONE!

I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT CHET ATKINS AND I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS ONE!

HOW COULD I FORGET SUCH A FABULOUS NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS DAFFY!

Sorry about the caps.

Guess I am mad at myself for not remembering this delightful music!

Hi Minnie! You're welcome!

I love the picture :)

And the song!

I had the LP way back - you got an exceptional sound on the transfer into uTube...

[legrande111]

This is from his LP 'Teensville' (1959, I think).

This was on  Teensville one of Chets early albums for my money one of the best tracks on it

Thanks for share ! Happy song

[clydehrichards]

it came out as a single. i can't remember the song on the flip side. i wore this side out learning to play it. the only way i could get the bass notes was by slowing the speed of the record changer.

Hey Mr(or Mrs) HardRockLeadGuitar - it's Floyd Cramer with a "C" - and also this is proof positive that Boots Randolph is the shit

[MBD4566]

Hey yall

Justa little trivia, this number is off Chet's TEENSVILLE album that came out in 1960.
