Chet, Floyd & Boots is a studio album by American guitarist Chet Atkins, pianist Floyd

Cramer and saxophone player Boots Randolph. Boots had a novelty hit with Yakety
Sax which Chet covered, playing the saxophone lead on guitar, as Yakety Axe - which
also became a hit. Cramer was a regular session musician at the Nashville studios,
playing with a multitude of artists including Elvis Presley and Brenda Lee, helping to
define the "Nashville Sound" that Atkins had also helped develop. The trio briefly toured
together.
Chet, Floyd & Boots was originally released on RCA's budget label, Camden. It was
also released on the Pickwick label and re-released on CD in 1992 by Special Music.
