Guitar Country is the twenty-fourth studio album by American guitarist Chet Atkins. The album was a nominee for the 1964 Best Country & Western Album Grammy award, however it was beat out by Roger Miller's "Dang Me/ Chug-A-Lug".[1] The album stayed on the Country albums charts for 33 weeks, peaking at #1 in May of 1964.[2] Prior to 1964, there was no separate genre chart for Country LPs, thus Chet's previous charting albums were on the Pop charts. Numerous future Atkins releases "crossed over" from the Country and Pop charts.
