Disc 1 features his C&W and Pop hits like 'Mr Sandman', 'Silver Bell', 'Poor People Of Paris', 'Trambone', 'Czardas', 'Boo Boo Stickbeat', 'Teensville', 'One Mint Julep', etc.
Disc 2 features Chet producing and/or backing artists like Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Eddy Arnold, Kitty Wells, Elvis, Janis Martin, Jim Reeves, Don Gibson, The Everly Brothers, Hank Locklin, Roy Orbison, Floyd Cramer, John D Loudermilk, Skeeter Davis, Roger Miller, Bobby Bare and many more.
