Biography
Chester & Lester is a collaborative album by guitarists Chet Atkins and Les Paul released by RCA Records in 1976. The album was recorded in May 1975 when Atkins was age 50 and Paul was 59. Atkins coaxed Paul out of his decade-long retirement for this recording. The liner notes state there is little overdubbing and the majority of the album was live in the studio. Chester & Lester peaked at No. 11 on Billboard's Country album chart and No. 172 on the Pop album chart. It peaked at No. 27 on the Country chart again in 1978. At the Grammy Awards of 1976, Chester & Lester won the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.
