Yestergroovin' is the thirty-ninth studio album by guitarist Chet Atkins, released in 1970. Yestergroovin' was nominated for the 1970 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance. It did not win, but Atkins's collaboration with Jerry Reed Me and Jerry did. He would be nominated twice in the same category again in 1973.

Reception

Allmusic stated that it is "a throwback to some of his earlier, less-cluttered, more musical albums. It's a relaxed, friendly, assured package... Lovely record; one of his best from this period.".[1]
