Chet Atkins at his Christmas best! He gives a twist (and a twang) to some yuletide standards. It's too bad that he is no longer with us. :-(

Although the original LP came out in 1961 and this subsequent CD in 1997, It is still one the best rendition of Christmas music ever. This CD is a must for all Christmas music lovers. Good clear sound and great rhythm makes this CD most enjoyable. A few noisy passages on some of the tracks from old master sources(???) keep it short of a 5 star rating. Beyond those small imperfections, the playing of these classics by Mr. Atkins is just great.
 GREAT record but yes, LOUSY cd October 20, 2004

Contrary to one of the many glowing reviews of this cd, this cd WAS INDEED remastered incorrectly. Yes, Chet's technique intentionally created the interesting effects you hear and read about in other fans reviews here, but don't let their lousy ears fool you into buying this. I have the lp and the cd and I always go back to the lp because the cd was mastered so poorly. Whoever was responsible at Razor and Tie for the crummy sound should be ashamed of himself. He took a wonderful Christmas classic and butchered it. What a pity, since Chet's recordings were always so top notch! A blue Christmas, indeed...
A much loved christmas favourite on cd - with a few curves December 31, 2003

I have loved Christmas with Chet Atkins since I was a kid- it has been a part of my christmas celebrations since the early 60s( the record was released in 1961). Imagine my delight in finding it on CD.The thing of it is, it's not the same record. There are a number of differences between the CD and vinyl version; the songs "Little drummer boy", "Silent Night" and "White Christmas" are alternate takes-not bad, just different. There is a noticeable "flutter" on "Jingle Bell Rock" and a few other tracks which makes me wonder whether the original master recording has been compromised in some way. This might also explain the use of alternate takes. Having said all that, Christmas with Chet Atkins is a woefully underrated record that continues to delight me over forty years after it was recorded. Chet's poignant interpretation of "Coventry Carol/God rest ye merry gentlemen is just one highlight. Despite the sonic liberties taken with the original, this record is still very much worth your time.
