[From the CD liner notes]:
"I am Almost Alone on this album. With the exception of "You Do Something To Me" and "Jam Man", there are no guitar overdubs. It's just me, my big foot sometimes patting on the shank of an RE 15 microphone and most of the time the two of us hope to be together. A Country Gentleman guitar with bass strings on the fifth and sixth is featured on " I Still Write Your Name In The Snow". "Jam Man" utilizes a musical tool by that name on which it is possible to lay down a rhythm track and then layer other parts. I sometimes feature it on my shows, with the guitar doing all the music parts and my right hand overdubbing the percussion (kick drum and snare sounds). A Les Paul I'm not! But it is fun to try.

Some of the musicians I truly admire are featured with me on indicidual cuts, such as:
    Randy Goodrum: keyboards "I Still Write Your Name In The Snow"
    Randy Howard: fiddle "Sweet Alla Lee"
    Paul Yandell: acoustic guitar "Maybelle"
    Bergen White: string arrangements
    The Nashville String Machine

My sincere thanks to the members of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society (CAAS), Paul Yandell and Pat Bergeson for their licks, respect and support." -- Chet Atkins, c.g.p. 1996
