Almost Alone is an album by Chet Atkins. He was 71 at the time of the album's release. It is almost all solo guitar instrumentals. "Jam Man" won the 1997 Grammy award for Best Country & Western Instrumental Performance.
Chet replaced the E and A normal guitar bass strings on a Gibson Country Gentleman guitar with thicker strings on "I Still Write Your Name in the Snow" to lower them an octave, giving a fuller bass accompaniment effect. There are no overdubs except for "Jam Man" and "You Do Something to Me". "Jam Man" uses a musical effect of the same name.
As part of the promotion for the release, Chet signed 125 Gibson Epiphone guitars that were given away in contests around the country.
All songs by Chet Atkins unless noted.
