Chet Atkins Picks on Jerry Reed is an album of instrumental guitar versions of ten Jerry Reed compositions performed primarily by American guitarist Chet Atkins (two songs with Reed), released in 1974.

Atkins plays guitar for the ten Jerry Reed songs. The version of "Steeplechase Lane" found here is different to that previously recorded on Yestergroovin'. Although the two guitarists are pictured on the original cover, Jerry performs on only two songs: "Squirrely" and "Mister Lucky".

Chet Atkins Picks on Jerry Reed has been out of print in recent years and has not been re-released on CD.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote of the album "All of these tunes give Atkins plenty of room to display some fancy fingerpicking, classical technique, and even a bit of gentle sustained rock guitar on his instruments... Since the vast majority of country albums then were considered disposable goods by the Nashville machine, this — like many a fine Atkins record — will be difficult to locate."^[1]
