All of the interviewees are exceptionally well-chosen, ranging from country legends like June Carter Cash to contemporary guitar heroes like Mark Knopfler (who championed Atkins on their bestselling duo recordings), Steve Howe (from Yes), Peter Frampton, and Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, who dedicates his own unique career to promoting Atkins's legacy. Archival clips show Atkins perfecting his amazing ability to play two melodies at once, providing a rich survey of his mastery throughout six decades of multiple musical styles. At one point, Dolly Parton affectionately praises Atkins for "spreading gold dust around the world," and this splendid show offers ample proof that Atkins's gold will shine forever. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Chet Atkins - A Life in Music
we felt cheated my husband and i have followed chet atkins music for years. we
started with many of his records, then cassette tapes and now
decided to add his wonderful music in cd form.
what a total shock to find as we were playing "chet atkins
a life in music" that it wasn't all music.
we didn't need so many people telling us he was great. we
felt we had been cheated. we also paid $18. for the cd and
nothing to show for it.

Not pure joy
This is a documentary, this is not a performance DVD. I am pretty disappointed. If you like recording PBS documentaries, then buy this DVD, it has that special salutory educational theme. If you really want to see Chet play..... well, buy a CD and use your imagination instead.
Great video...kind of short though
This video is a really good one and is professionally done. The only problem I had with it was it's shortness and the fact that it didn't show him play very much.
Basically, it is a bunch of interviews with Chet and those around him, including a jog through his childhood.
If you want to know more about the man, I would recommend it. If you are looking for videos of his playing, look elsewhere.
