Moonglow / Theme From Picnic By Chet Atkins & Les Paul

Chet Atkins was an American guitarist and record producer who helped create the music style known as the Nashville sound. While mostly associated with country music, he also recorded and performed most other genres, including jazz and classical. He received 14 Grammy Awards, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and 9 CMA Instrumentalist of the Year awards. Atkins was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Les Paul was an American jazz, popular and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible". He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records with 16 top-10 hits. Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. While not the first to use the technique, his experiments with overdubbing were the first to attract widespread attention. His innovations extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing. This selection is from the album "Chester & Lester" which reached #11 in 1976 and #27 again in 1978. "Chester & Lester" won the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance of 1976.
