With Mother Maybelle & Chet Atkins

This is a stunning release to file alongside CRT #35 and CRT #37, covering the formative years of Chet Atkins, drawn from radio shows with the Carter Sisters. Chet solos throughout, as 8 tracks are solo guitar tunes, and he also plays fiddle on 3 more tracks! All the girls (June, Anita and Helen) are in superb form, and there are some marvelous moments from Mother Maybelle, including a 5-stringed banjo. 1949 recordings heard here for the first time.
