Superpickers is an album by guitarist Chet Atkins and top recording session players in Nashville, TN.

Contents

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic William Ruhlmann wrote of the album "Atkins joins together with an A-list of Nashville session musicians for a set of picking extravaganzas... Atkins himself is goaded into some wonderful playing as a result, and Superpickers is one of his best albums."
