This 1956 album is quintessential Atkins' eclectic and posh finger-picking, a style that our hero interpreted in a superior manner. Lightly accompanied by a velvety rhythm section, Atkins delivers his best country-swing through his astonishing and unique style that we all know so well. Features 10 extra tracks from the deepest vaults of Atkins' legend. -- City Hall Records, 2006
