Chet Atkins
Chester Burton Atkins (20 June 1924 – 30 June 2001) was born in Luttrell, Tennessee and was an American musician, songwriter, and record producer. He and Owen Bradley helped create the style of country music that became known as the “Nashville Sound” and expanded country music’s appeal to a much wider audience. He was known as a guitarist, but also played the mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Without Chet Atkins, country music might never have crossed over into the pop charts in the 1950s and ‘60s.
Atkins' trademark picking style and musicianship brought him admirers inside and outside of country music. As successful as he was as a session musician, Atkins' biggest influence on country music came as a record producer. Atkins produced for artists like Hank Snow, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, The Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, Jerry Reed and Skeeter Davis.
Among his many honors, Atkins received 14 Grammy Awards, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
