Michael Coppola writes about his 2005 CD On The Atkins Diet, "An Atkins Diet is not unlike what a Segovia diet would be to a classical guitarist. Chet was incredibly prolific, leaving a wide array of tunes and styles to choose from. I included the music of Jerry Reed, Nokie Edwards and a few other Chet influenced stylists as part of the diet. As I put my arrangements together, I began soloing choruses in between melody verses. Solo guitar single string improvising while retaining some sort of bass part is what I do best, and it found its way into most of the selections on this disc. I call this Boom-Bop. I hope you will enjoy this album."
