this is one of the best cd's i have ever heard- we have bought 3 copies for our friends and family to enjoy..no one can play the guitar like chet and what he does for these classic hymns are amazing-

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.

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.

Years ago I had the vinyl version of this recording, but--like many other albums I wish I'd held on to--I disposed of it when records went out. While some of the songs on this album aren't my favorites, I still find it very inspirational in a Chet Atkins kind of way. (I wouldn't compare this with Twin Sisters, for example.) Several of the selections are pretty rather than jazzed up, and those are my favorites. I'm just glad to have this album back again. Also recommended: Chet Atkins Picks on the Beatles.

I would have to rate this CD as the best of Chet's music. I also
purchased the book with the music and tab's. The songs that he
selected were songs that inspire me. I would highly recommend the
CD and book both. Unless you're playing you wouldn't need the book
though.

This is an absolutely great CD. I just wish there were more than 12 songs on it.

This CD is my current favorite for instrumential-what a talented man & what a great selection-I love listening to it, so soothing.--
