5.0 out of 5 stars Great video...kind of short though, November 15, 2001

This review is from: Chet Atkins - A Life in Music (DVD)

This video is a really good one and is professionally done. The only problem I had with it was it's shortness and the fact that it didn't show him play very much.

Basically, it is a bunch of interviews with Chet and those around him, including a jog through his childhood.

If you want to know more about the man, I would recommend it. If you are looking for videos of his playing, look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars No music just interviews, July 30, 2001

This review is from: Chet Atkins - A Life in Music (DVD)

I bought this to hear Chet Akins, who recently passed away, play some of his great guitar music. As interview after interview went on I kept thinking that at any moment they would show him at a concert or at a studio playing his guitar. Well whenever he did start to play they overlayed more interviews about how great Chet was. Well he was great I just wanted to hear him prove it once again. A real disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars we felt cheated, February 13, 2004

helen matson (charlotte, n.c. visiting from atlantic mine,mich.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chet Atkins - A Life in Music (DVD)

my husband and i have followed chet atkins music for years. we
started with many of his records, then cassette tapes and now
decided to add his wonderful music in cd form.
what a total shock to find as we were playing "chet atkins
a life in music" that it wasn't all music.
we didn't need so many people telling us he was great. we
felt we had been cheated. we also paid $18. for the cd and
nothing to show for it.
