Chip Taylor - Angels and Gamblers: Best of 1971-1979

For the first time on CD, the Raven label have put together a definitive multi-label compilation from Chip Taylor.

Born James Voight (Brother Of Actor Jon Voight, Uncle Of Angelina Jolie), Chip Taylor is an artist just begging for anthology. Angels and Gamblers: Best of Chip Taylor examines the New York singer songwriter's work from 1971 to 1979.

These are 23 essential tracks culled from eight albums originally released by Buddah, Warner, Columbia and Capitol - a fertile period that found him accepted as a peer of Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and John Prine.

His songs are bound by a common thread of intelligent, visionary writing and performance in a 'Roots' style that has stood the ultimate test of time.
