[From the CD liner notes]:
Lovingly selected from his many albums of the late 1950's and early 1960's, this unique anthology shows the evolution of CHET ATKINS' style from pure country to jazz, world music and eclectic pop! Atkins traveled the world, performing and picking up new tunes in all musical styles. It was Chet's most creative period - and here it is on one CD! New from the kitchens of HONGRY MAN!
