East Tennessee Christmas

East Tennessee Christmas is the fifty-first studio album and the second Christmas album by guitarist Chet Atkins, issued by Columbia Records in 1983.

Atkins had recorded a Christmas with Chet Atkins previously for RCA Victor 22 years earlier. He covers some of the same territory in this release but with a smoother production.

Reception
Writing for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote of the album "... an accomplished but unremarkable holiday effort. Much of the album sounds too slick, and the song selection is a little too predictable for its good, making the record itself sound like it is something Atkins had done before... the overall album makes little impression, and only dedicated Atkins fans will need to add this to their collection.
