Chip Mergott is a Christian singer-songwriter and producer. Bonnie Raitt has described him as "one of my favorite songwriters" but in recent years he's become more well known for his instrumental CD "Hymns for Acoustic Guitar."
John Weingart, the legendary folk deejay whose show "Music You Can't Hear On The Radio" has been featured on Princeton's WPRB fm for over thirty years says "...lovely, intricate, lowkey guitar arrangements of eleven hymns...This album would be a welcome gift for fans of great guitar playing and fans of God alike."
Here's a personal note from Chip exclusively for CD Baby customers: "Although these are instrumental renditions, I made a sincere effort to consider the meaning and import of the lyrics to these classic hymns, and by really focusing on the simplicity and beauty of these timeless melodies, I think I paradoxically ended up evoking the lyrical content in many listeners minds. Thanks for your interest in 'Hymns for Acoustic Guitar.'"
