CD

 

"Aretha Franklin ... Dusty Springfield ... the Hollies ... Walter Jackson ...Evie Sands ... Peggy Lee ... These are just some of the great artists included on the latest addition to Ace's prestigious songwriter series. When performers of that calibre record your compositions, it's a sign you're doing something right. A frequent visitor to the UK, these days Chip belongs to the alt-country genre. He began his career in the late 1950s as teenage rocker Wes Voight, his real name. But in the 1960s, in addition to a low profile recording career of his own, he very much specialised in writing songs for others.

As with their other writer-based collections, in addition to well-known songs Ace have included some equally good but less famous numbers."
