5.0 out of 5 stars Back Home Hymns, December 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Plays Back Home Hymns (Audio CD)

Any Chet Atkins fan wanting to add to an authentic East Tennessee experience, should order this CD.

...it's a "must" add-on to your order. I'm giving this CD to my father as a "stocking stuffer" along with his regular Robe and Socks. The selections include many essential, favorite hymns of Chet's age, which include my Dad's 30-50s American experience from an Appalachian point of view.

There are many amateur guitar-pickers, myself and my Dad included, who dream of playing the tunes that are really meaningful to the roots of our up-bringings combined with the electricity of our modern life. "Back Home Hymns" by Chet Atkins does all this and is a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soft and Sweet, September 20, 2001

Dale Railsback (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plays Back Home Hymns (Audio CD)

The hymns on the album are mostly soft and sweet. He brings out a lot of love and emotion.
Each note is crisp and clear with no finger noise on the strings.
