Dream - Chet Atkins cover by Wade Jacobson

The story behind “Dream” is rooted in the mid-century American songbook, originally composed by the legendary Johnny Mercer in 1944 as a wartime lullaby of optimism. While the song was a massive vocal hit for The Piedmont Quartette and later Frank Sinatra, Chet Atkins recognized its potential as an instrumental tour-de-force for the fingerstyle guitar. By utilizing his signature technique; the thumb maintaining a steady, heartbeat-like bass while his fingers wove intricate, bell-like melodies on the higher strings Chet transformed the piece into a cinematic experience. To the discerning listener, the brilliance of this track lies in its “breathing room”. Atkins understood that the space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves. Wade Jacobson began his musical journey on guitar at age 3. From age 14 to 17, he performed with his two sisters and a friend in a family group named "Wade and the Country Naturals". After high school, Wade went off on his own, playing square dances and traditional country music. He eventually met Bob and Dean McNett. Bob was one of Hank Williams Sr's original "Drifting Cowboys". He seemed to like that Wade had a playing style similar to Merle Travis and helped him land his first job on the road with "The Nashville Revue" where he had the opportunity to work with many of his country music heroes. Since then, Wade has worked with many talented musicians and bands in various areas of New York State, including "George Cee & The Houston Band", "Freddie McLean & The Mac Brothers", "Tailormade" and "Route 66". He is currently working with New York State's premier country group: The "Dean Goble Band".
