I have never heard this beautiful melody before. Leave it to Chet to play such wonderful music...and let the world enjoy him, even after he has been gone so long. Thanks for posting it.
I can hear the CanadianPacificRailway train crossing happily and powerful the Stoney Creek Bridge near the Rogers Pass in the British Columbian part of The Rocky Mountains ... oooohhh! soo good - thank you, Doug! Lara ;)
Thanks, Doug, for stirring great memories of riding around in my 70' Mustang fastback with this song on an old 8 track. I first heard this song on an old Hank Snow album back in the 60s. George Hamilton IV had a great arrangement of it too. Thanks for posting!! jt
I would have enjoyed knowing Chet, being a neighbor, bringing him a flat of homegrown tomatoes in the summer, and YES--if he would give me a guitar lesson now and then I would gladly accept.
Everytime i hear Chet play, it is like angels are playing...... RIP my hero.........
There never was and never will be a greater guitarist !

He takes a beautiful, haunting melody, makes it his own, and adds even more beauty to it.

The great Mr. Guitar💐🙏
Don't remember this one from my teen years sixty or so years ago, but it's wonderful.

I always associate this with George Hamilton IV, but this inst version is played in pure Chet Atkins style - very melodic.
Me too! It was this track - from this album - that 'sucked me in to' the Pedal Steel Sound...

Me too. It would have been pretty cool playing the guitar with him too.

I hear ya'!!!
What was he like on the drums do you know?
I have this album, and have wondered a few times where that Model A is today? Would love to own that car for the price Chet paid for it decades ago.
Don't believe I ever heard this before. Love it!
@Factnotfictionpeople According to the Wikipedia page for 'Superpickers,' pedal steel was handled by Mr. Weldon Myrick. Sound great either way!
Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you! LOL But on my album liner notes it lists Stu Basore. :-)
nice sax too!
There isn't a sax in this.
Looks like John boys model A. Well same color.
"If we make it through December..."
Early morn rain thrown in...

JT
