In recent years, Chet Atkins has shared albums with Mark Knopfler, Suzy Bogguss, and Jerry Reed, but the veteran guitarist recorded this 1996 disc just the way the title suggests: Almost Alone.

Aside from the strings added to several cuts, only 3 of the 13 numbers feature any musicians other than Atkins. And on 11 of the tracks, only one Chet Atkins is present; in other words, those tracks feature a single take without overdubs. When it works, this minimalist format allows us to enjoy Atkins at his best--just 10 fingers and 6 strings. Too often, however, he can't resist his lifelong temptation to clutter up arrangements with sugary string charts. Still, he dazzles on such unaccompanied pieces as his own pretty pop tune "Happy Again" and Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek." --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Agreed--Almost Chet's Best, but still an incredible CD!.......2007-05-16

We agree with J.K. Olsen, Chet Atkins - Solo Sessions is even better, but don't dismiss this CD. It is still features some of Chet's best playing. (Just listen to You Do Something To Me and Mr. Bojangles)

5 out of 5 stars Almost Chets best.......2006-03-01

Almost Chets best

This is a very beautiful solo guitar album.
The only reason, it's almost Chets best album, is that

Solo Sessions is even greater,,,buth any way, this is a superb album,, and you will not forget bying it.

Solo Sessions, were found in Chets home studio, after the genious had past away.
28 traks. Many of them greate...It`s Chets best solo work since the 50ties.

You can get Solo sessions on www.misterguitar.com and www.funkyjunk

1 out of 5 stars Terrible.......2005-08-30

Sure Wish I had saved my money and purchased another of Chet's CD's instead of buying this one because of the reviews. I loved the picking, but didn't like the songs. will not play this CD again.

5 out of 5 stars The title says it all........2003-06-13

Finally, an album by the master, as the name implies. Just Chet. From Early humor (I Still Write Your Name in the Snow) to recent pieces (A Little Mark Music) to one of his many classics, (Ave Maria) Mr. Guitar is at the top of his game when he's "Almost Alone."

5 out of 5 stars Pure Guitar Sounds.......2003-04-03

This one is a definite must have for Your collection and/or jukebox. For those days of enjoying guitar sounds at Their finest, this One by Chet Atkins in His later years exemplifies the talent that remains today and for Our tomorrow's!!

Buy it, and You wont be disappointed*

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.
