The Chet Atkins Story
No single country instrumentalist has achieved the renown and respect of Chester Burton Atkins. His immense musical influence on country, rock, and jazz musicians from Jerry Reed to George Harrison, Duane Eddy, and Earl Klugh has lasted over nearly a half-century. Many hit records he produced during his days at RCA are now classics.
Atkins grew up in the hills near the tiny, remote East Tennessee town of Luttrell. James Atkins, his father, was an itinerant music teacher who had previously been married. His wife Ida, Chester’s mother, sang and played piano. After the Atkinses divorced, Ida Atkins remarried, in 1932, and Chester began to learn guitar and fiddle, often playing with his brother and sister and their stepfather, Willie Strevel. A 1936 asthma attack forced Chester to relocate to the improved climate at his father’s Georgia farm, where one night in the late 1930s he first heard Merle Travis playing guitar from WLW in Cincinnati. Travis’s thumb-and-finger picking style fascinated Atkins, who created his own thumb-and-two-finger variation.
After attending high school in Georgia, Atkins landed a job at WNOX in Knoxville, fiddling for the team of singer Bill Carlisle and comic Archie Campbell. WNOX executive Lowell Blanchard heard Chester’s guitar playing and began featuring him on the Mid-Day Merry Go-Round, the station’s popular daily barn dance show. Atkins broadened his repertoire though listening sessions in the station’s music library. In 1945 he briefly joined WLW in Cincinnati, then in early 1946 worked with Johnnie & Jack in Raleigh, North Carolina, before moving to Chicago, where Red Foley, leaving the WLS National Barn Dance to host the Grand Ole Opry’s Prince Albert Show, hired Atkins and took him to Nashville. There, he made his first solo recording, “Guitar Blues,” for the local Bullet label. Moving on to KWTO in Springfield, Missouri, Atkins received his nickname “Chet” from station official Si Siman. Other officials there, feeling his style too polished for “hillbilly” music, eventually fired him.
