Alternative Cover

Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins is the title of the second recording by American guitarist Chet Atkins on the RCA Victor label. It was available as a 10-inch vinyl record. RCA subsequently released it as a 12-inch [LP] in 1955 with additional and omitted tracks.

The song "Main Street Breakdown" had been released as a single in 1949 and was a minor success.^[1] Chet commented in his autobiography, "It had a lot of notes and fast runs and DJ's apparently loved it."^[2] Homer & Jethro played on the song with Anita Carter playing bass.^[3]
