Tender Words

Tender Words

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums on one CD. Produced by Chet Atkins, Tender Words is the sequel to the Kerr Singers' popular salute to Ray Charles, The Genius In Harmony. If, on that album, the emphasis was on the pressures of adult life, here it is on the sweet love pain of youth, delivered in inimitable style. The second feature is the Chet Atkins/ Kerr Singers album variously known (in different editions) as The Amazing Chet Atkins, The Best Chet Yet, and Chet Atkins, If You Please. One of Chet Atkins'' most serious rarities, the sessions were recorded in 1957 for the performance rights organization SESAC. The albums are complimented by the inclusion of the charming Peek A Boo Moon from the LP Chet Atkins and His Guitar, a skillfully realized vignette which finds both singers and guitarist in playful harmony.
