For the album, Wariner took a unique approach and did more than simply play Atkins' songs. As he has repeatedly stated, "You can't out-Chet Chet." Instead, Wariner arranged the album as a rough timeline of Atkins' life, taking the listener on a journey through the wide range of material that Atkins recorded—from his early days playing the mountain music of his native Luttrell, Tennessee, to swing, rockabilly, pop, folk and jazz. Wariner includes his versions of some of the songs that Atkins recorded or performed--"Back Home Again in Indiana," "John Henry" and "Blue Angel, as well as "Producer's Medley," featuring some of the many hits that Chet produced for other artists—but the bulk of the album consists of original songs Steve wrote in the various styles that Atkins made famous.

Early reviews of Steve Wariner, c.g.p., My Tribute to Chet Atkins have been overwhelmingly positive, including the following:

"This is such a wonderful CD. No one has ever captured my father's touch like Steve. I think every lick that Daddy ever did is on this recording. Thank you, Steve, for keeping his playing alive."
- Merle Atkins, Daughter of Chet and Leona Atkins

"I just listened to the ‘Tribute to Chet' head to toe. I love it! It made me fall in love with my guitar all over again!"
- Legendary guitarist Eric Johnson

"...a tour de force tribute to the man he calls his boss, producer, musical mentor, and friend...This fabulous collection of mostly original songs spotlights the amazing fingerstyle talent that Wariner possesses, as well as his deep knowledge of Atkins' signature guitar style."
- Art Thompson, Guitar Player Magazine

"The keys to the song's (indeed all the songs') success are Wariner's mastery of the subtleties of Atkins' style, not the flash--something as simple as the way Chet would dip the whammy bar 'just so'...he probably comes as close to Chet's spirit—that ability to be laid-back and energetic at the same time, making daunting passages appear effortless—as anyone ever has."
- Dan Forte, Vintage Guitar
