Uncovered [CD]

Beth Nielsen Chapman - Uncovered [CD]

On Beth Nielsen Chapman's new release, "Uncovered" she rolls out a batch of premium songs she's written but never recorded that have already been hits or covers by other artists. Most were top ten hits, seven of which topped the charts at #1. This record could have been called "Recovered" except that the idea for this collection sprung out of her digging up songs for her pending boxed set called "Box of Songs". The title, "Uncovered" was suggested by none other than Bob Harris. "Once I heard that name I knew exactly what this record needed to be." It's been a crazy few months pulling it together but the universe seems to have been cooperating beautifully. Recorded in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and her own "Tree House" studio in Nashville, Beth Nielsen Chapman's new release "Uncovered" bursts open with a crystalline piano, which gives way into an infectious groove on "Simple Things", a song about the stuff that really matters in life, with backing vocals by Kim Carnes (She's Got Betty Davis Eyes).
