Country After All These Years is a studio album by guitarist Chet Atkins.[1][2] It would be his last recording for RCA Victor after 35 years with the label, and as a fitting parting gift, the album won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.[3] Chet was also nominated in the same category that year for Reflections, his collaboration with Doc Watson.
