"C.B. Atkins & C.E. Snow by Special Request", (also known as simply "by Special Request"), is the title of a recording by Chet Atkins and Hank Snow, released in 1969.

Atkins and Snow had a history of collaborations — their first single was "Reminiscing" and they had a hit single in 1955, a guitar duet called "Silver Bell." [ [http://www.misterguitar.com/bios/chetbio1.html Oermann, B. Chet Atkins, c.g.p.] ]

Snow was a regular at the Grand Ole Opry and had a long and illustrious entertainment career. Atkins rose from radio and session work to become not only a performing and recording artist and producer, but also an executive of RCA.

Atkins and Snow's previous release "Reminiscing" and "by Special Request" are both out of print and have not been re-issued on CD.
