When Suzy Bogguss released her debut album, Somewhere Between, in 1989, Chet Atkins wrote the liner notes, saying, "Her voice sparkles like crystal water." It did, but it also quickly drained away without leaving a mark. Bogguss has always had a pretty soprano, but it never seemed connected to any emotion or tradition worth caring about. It's only on her sixth album, Simpatico, which is co-credited to Atkins, that she has at last made music worthy of her talent. "You Bring Out the Best is Me" is one of the 10 songs on the album, and it summarizes Atkins' effect on Bogguss. --Geoffrey Himes

This is Chet Atkins at his best; playing a varied selection of songs, all with minimal backing, which gives the listener an almost unimpeded access the Chet’s virtuoso playing.
