Album Review

Since The Essential Chet Atkins concentrates on his instrumental tracks -- including hits like "Mr. Sandman" and "Yakety Axe" -- it functions as the best single-disc retrospective of the guitarist. It is also one of the only collections that concisely demonstrates his subtlely dazzling virtuosity. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
