Country guitar picker Chet Atkins reached No. 10 on the NME album chart with Teen Scene. At this time Chet had more success in the UK than in his home country. Aged nearly 40, he was old enough to be a father to the teen generation. (US:93)
"It sounds like the musicians are just getting into it and about to get a really good groove on when...it's over. That's my biggest gripe about these tracks. But if you enjoy some good finger-pickin' guitar, this is a good record."
"This is one of Chet's great albums from the early 60s. Teen Scene is varied in its range of songs and helps to recapture those past days of innocent excitement when the hit parade was full of good melodies. All of Chet's trademark playing styles are here from soulful to rippling fingerstyle, to duets with saxophone."
"This was back when dancin' music was dancin' music. I'm doin' the 'head nod' and 'foot tap' just sitting here. What really stands out about Chet's sense of song is his ability to lay back and let a few others take a ride on the tune as well."
"Not flashy in the conventional sense, not loud and boisterous like so many rockers who followed him, Atkins was the consummate musician, a master of subtlety and nuance, lightning fast and harmonically rich. He was the ultimate guitarist's guitarist."
"Guitar legend Chet Atkins had a legacy as one of the most accomplished guitar pickers in American popular music."
"This a great way to understand how Chet came to influence an entire music industry and style, and was able to do so by his instrumental virtuosity."
