Country After All These Years is a studio album by guitarist Chet Atkins. 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. Chet was also nominated in the same category that year for Reflections, his collaboration with Doc Watson.
