Street Dreams (Chet Atkins album)


Street Dreams is the fifty-third studio album by American guitarist Chet Atkins, released in 1986 on the Columbia label.
Having previously recorded some of Darryl Dybka's compositions, Atkins asked Dybka to help create a jazzier musical direction. Dybka arranged, produced, and composed many of the songs on this release.

Too many synthesizers and contemporary touches simply detract from the main reason you bought it in the first place—to hear Chet Atkins play his patented fluid guitar. Although Atkins usually sounds wonderful on gut-string guitar, here his sound is pinched and curiously restrained..."
