"After many requests from friends and fans over the years, I am proud to say I've finally finsished my CD. I have selected some of my favorite songs and tunes, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjyed performing them. I wish to dedicate this recording to the memory of my father, charles Allred, and to my mother, Peggy Allred, for her constant support. I also want to mention my guitar hero, Chet Atkins, who has been my inpiration for playing for as long as I can remember. Guitars I used on this recording are the Bob Jones electric classic, Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, Collings 0002h and Yamaha Grand Concert." -- Rick Allred, 2003
