The latest in Aces ongoing 'Songwriter Series', Jackie DeShannon evolved from a teenage rockabilly wannabe into a founder of the folk-rock movement.Before her breakthrough as a recording star, she was also one of the most in-demand songwriters of the 60s, providing material for everyone from Brenda Lee to the Byrds. She remains well known in the UK, via her associations with Jimmy Page, Van Morrison and the Searchers.The recent CD release of most of Jackies own albums has aroused considerable interest in 'the songs she gave away'. Here are more than two dozen of the best, including two rare songs co-written with Jimmy Page.Almost half of these tracks are new to CD  among them a rare 1960s demo from Jackies own personal collection that has never been heard before.As with all of Aces 'Songwriter' CDs the featured artists range from the deservedly famous to the terminally obscure, but the records  and of course the songs  remain consistently great throughout.Jackie has personally endorsed the release of this CD and was interviewed recently at length by co-compiler Mick Patrick for the project.
