Atkins used to come to the TwinCities fairly regularly to do spots on Prairie Home Companion. He could play/pick any style -not unlike Bela Fleck. But the swing country stuff is the best.

One of the most amazing performances I ever saw was Johnny Cash in Austin as part of SXSW a few, ? 5+ years back. He was in this small club, with all the history coming through his quavery deep voice and obviously just having fun playing- Enjoying his rediscovery by a younger crowd. There are moments when you just need to hear "Ring of Fire" or "Folsom Prison Blues"- good for the waning hours, sun down part of a road trip, through really rural Kansas- Any Sun Studio stuff works well.
