CHET ATKINS - 4/2 : Debut Recording





Chester Atkins
試音失敗, 祗好返回家鄉, 在當地的電視台任樂隊結他手, 其中一隊是後來組成的 "The Oak Ridge Boys", 該樂隊有兩成員Wally Fowler 和 Curly Kinsey 共同擁有"Bullet"唱片公司。

1946年, Chet Atkins 在該唱片公司錄製了首張個人細唱片 "Chester Atkins Guitar Blues (Pickin' The Blues)", 這是至今在樂壇有記載, 唯一以 Chester Atkins 這名字的首張細唱片, 當中的歌曲 "Brown Eyes A'Cryin' In The Rain" 是 Chet Atkins 的作品, 而主唱是隊中的結手歌手 Jack Shook。

Chester Atkins & The All-Star Hillbillies - "Brown Eyes A'Cryin' In The Rain"
Guitar : Chet Atkins, Roy Lanham
Guitar, vocal : Jack Shook
Rhythm guitar: Louis Innis
Bass : Ernie Newton
Clarinet : Dutch McMillin 

由於他常在電視台的綜合節目出現, 電台經理把節目的錄音, 推薦給各唱片公司。1947年, 唱片監製 Steve Sholes 聽過聲帶, 引薦他加入 RCA 唱片公司, 而他的抱負仍想成為歌手; 很快, 首張卻是結他彈奏 78rpm 的唱片"Gallopin' On The Guitar"; 面世之後, 成績平平, 後來給電台用作主題音樂而已。1948年, 錄製第二張仍然是結他音樂唱片 "Chet Atkins and his Colorado Mountain Boys", 當中 A-面 "I'm Pickin' The Blues", B-面 "Barnyard Shuffle"。

"GALLOPIN' ON THE GUITAR"

當歌手的機會漸微, Chet 祗好選擇在結他音樂方面發展。一試前往紐約當樂手, 但卻遇上該地的樂手開始罷工, 所有錄音工作和演奏均停頓下來, 唯有返回 Nashville 納殊維爾家鄉, 在當地電台工作, 1949年, 加入 Mother Maybelle Carter 的組合"The Carter Sisters"。

Chet Atkins, Mother Maybelle & The Carter Sisters - "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
 
In the twilight glow I see her.
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
As we kissed goodbye and parted.
I knew we'd never meet again.

Love is like a dying ember.
Only memories remain.
Through the ages I'll remember.
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder.
We'll stroll hand in hand again.
In a land that knows no parting.
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
