Artist:  Chet Atkins and Arthur Fielder

Title:  Chet Picks on the Pops

Date:  1969

Label:  RCA Records   LSC-3104

Notes:  Another great Gretsch cover photo in an almost father and son pose. The guys manage to pull this one off without the strings getting too sweet or the selection of material getting too pop. Both artists are giants in their own field and it’s a pleasant joining of talents. The back cover photos range from sitting in with the orchestra to the guys hitting the tap for a cold frosty. Another in a long line of Chester’s diverse releases through the years.

Line Up:

Chet Atkins: guitar
Boston Pops Orchestra
Arthur Fiedler: conductor
Robert Moore: bass
Jerry Carrigan: drums
