SONGS FROM A DUTCH TOUR is not only a CD. It is also a BOOK about the hows and whys of songs on the CD came to be! This is the first book from the legendary songwriter that brought you "Wild Thing" and "Angel Of The Morning". The Netherlands was one of the fanbase strongholds for him and his former partner Carrie Rodriguez. They did a farewell tour there in 2007 which got Chip writing. In a brilliantly designed, lavishly illustrated and scrupulously honest book, Chip tells his story, from the early days as a budding golf pro, following in his father"s footsteps, through his meteoric rise as a hit songwriter, ambivalent career as a performing star and more clear cut success as a gambler. All this leads up to the story of Chip & Carrie and his account of how the songs on the accompanying CD were written during the bitter-sweet tour in October, 2007. Though neither at the time wanted to say so out loud, both knew that the final stop would mark the end of an extraordinary musical partnership.
