?When stringed instruments are employed, it is
often an indication that the protagonist is
somewhat mature. It is an unwritten law that
sooner or later every rock, jazz or folk musician
will bathe in soft tones for once. Chet Atkins,
however, was light years away from his artistic
zenith, came up with a wealth of ideas and was in
a great position with regards to recording
facilities when he set down his Hollywood album in
1959. Two years earlier, 'Mister Guitar? had
become boss of the newly founded RCA Studio in
Nashville. Here he recorded several records, which
reflected his ideas of an appealing, catchy
Nashville Sound as an answer to the declining rock
and roll.
The Hollywood numbers were by no means dynamite
movie tracks or showstoppers. Dennis Farnon?s
delicate, lush arrangements rather more pay homage
to the maestro with his no-frills art of playing.
The gentle Italo evergreen 'Santa Lucia',
Chaplin?s beautiful 'Limelight' with its violins
and the time-honoured 'Greensleeves' ? all of them
flawlessly performed ? are a real pleasure for
the ears. Atkins greatly admired the superb string
orchestra and two years later he re-recorded the
album using the tapes from the Hollywood session
to create this new version.
