Description
Better known for the some of the songs he wrote--"Wild Thing", "Angel of the Morning", "(Try) Just A Little Bit Harder"to name a few--Chip Taylor also had an impressive run of critically respected albums that synthesized country rock, Nashville country, and singer-songwriter folk in the `70s. Somewhat shockingly, BEST OF 1971-1979: ANGELS AND GAMBLERS is Taylor's first best-of collection and hits all the high notesfrom this period. Fans of artists such as Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Gram Parsons, and Guy Clark--in whose company, Taylor clearly belongs--will delight in his simultaneously stylized and laid-back approach.
