Stay Tuned (Chet Atkins album)


Stay Tuned is the fifty-second studio album by Chet Atkins on his new label Columbia after recording and producing for RCA Victor since the 1950s. His guests include Larry Carlton, George Benson, Mark Knopfler, Steve Lukather, Earl Klugh, Boots Randolph, David Hungate, Dean Parks and Mark O'Connor.
"Cosmic Square Dance" won the 1985 Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Cub Koda wrote of the album: "Atkins' tone is, as usual, faultless, and his playing superb. If the "meetings" don't always come off, it's usually due to the overzealousness of the other guitar players.... All in all, a good modern-day Chet Atkins album, but not the place to start a collection."
