Teensville is the title of a recording by American guitarist and producer Chet Atkins, released in 1960. The idea here was for Atkins to release a record appealing to teens who were now interested in rock 'n roll. The original version of "Oh Lonesome Me", a hit on both the pop and country charts for Don Gibson, was produced by Atkins and featured his guitar.
The original liner notes were by The Everly Brothers whom Atkins later produced.
In his review for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote Atkins "never captures the raw spark of rock & roll. What shines through is Atkins' understated elegance. All of the numbers are arranged as pop instrumentals and his guitar playing is so tasteful that it makes the half-hearted execution almost forgiveable."
