RSR529 - Don Cusic - The Legacy of Chet Atkins and the Evolution of Music Recording in Nashville
Manage episode 515323385 series 2873050
Did Chet Atkins invent fingerpicking just to keep other guitarists from catching up? In this episode, I talk with Don Cusic—author of Chet Atkins: Mr. Guitar—about Chet’s legendary style, Nashville studio secrets, and how the music biz has changed (and stayed weird).

My guest today is Don Cusic, the Curb Professor of Music Industry History at Belmont University and the author of over 30 books on music, culture, and the music business. His latest is Chet Atkins: Mr. Guitar, a newly released biography that explores the life, legacy, and lasting influence of one of Nashville’s most iconic musicians.
Don has also produced albums for legends like Bobby Bare, Jeannie Seely, and Jim Ed Brown. He co-produced the Eddy Arnold Tribute album with Cheetah Chrome and collaborated with Mike Curb on an album of James Weldon Johnson songs performed by American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle.
Thank you to Pam Lewis and Associates for the introduction!
