Caribbean Guitar

Caribbean Guitar is the title of a recording by American guitarist Chet Atkins, released in 1962. Atkin's treatment of "Banana Boat Song" is based on The Tarriers' version, not Harry Belefonte's more famous rendition. Writing for Allmusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote the album is "Chet Atkins's versatility and curiosity have covered a lot of ground, and you would think that his talent would be able to encompass calypso and other Caribbean styles as well. Alas, he isn't given much of a chance here.."
