Teensville is the twelfth studio album recorded by American guitarist and producer Chet Atkins, released in 1960. The idea here was for Atkins to release a record appealing to teens who were now interested in rock 'n roll. The original version of "Oh Lonesome Me", a hit on both the pop and country charts for Don Gibson, was produced by Atkins and featured his guitar. The original liner notes were by The Everly Brothers whom Atkins later produced.

As the title indicates, Teensville is Chet Atkins' attempt to cut a record that appealed to the teenage audience weaned on rock & roll. Though he records a fair amount of rock, rockabilly, R&B, and country songs - and the Everly Brothers, who he produced, wrote the line notes - he never captures the raw spark of rock & roll.
