Chet Atkins: The Third Man Theme

Pull up a chair. It's that time when Kotaku takes a break from it's round the clock gaming news and how-is-this-news? and cozies up with some music. This is Soundtrack.

Tonight, we've got country music icon Chet Atkins playing "The Third Man Theme", originally written and performed by Anton Karas for the 1949 film of the same name.

Those who live in Japan will know the tune from a series of beer ads.

It's a great song and one suited to the Country Gentleman's brilliant guitar picking style. Check out the original here, and if you haven't already, check out the film.
