Artist:  Chet Atkins

Title: Caribbean Guitar

Date:  1962

Label:  RCA Victor   LPM-2549

 

Notes:  A mix of Latin rhythm and Chet's fluid guitar work are offered to us on this album. A touch of Mexican horns, Latin beats and you can almost smell the salt air and feel the warmth of the sun on your face. A nice jazz trumpet chorus is credited to Karl Gavin on the tune Temptation. And as usual Chet is able to pull it all together in fine style. In any setting or mood his guitar work is exemplary. And as usual a beautiful Gretsch adorns the cover.
