Album Notes

Chip Mergott, known for his instrumental CDs "Hymns for Acoustic Guitar" and "Silent Night," has also been a respected singer/songwriter since the days when he was signed to London Records. ("Chip Mergott is one of my favorite songwriters." Bonnie Raitt.)This single song CD is his first protest song, boldly addressing the dishonesty and outright lies of the cultural phenomenon "The DaVinci Code." An acoustic blues (with electric slide guitars entering at the bridge), this laid back style performance belies the intensity of the timely lyrical content. Here's a quote from Chip: "I'm usually the furthest thing from a confrontational, angry performer, but the amount of people who are assuming that 'The DaVinci Code' is based on historical fact (as stated by the author) is what convinced me to take a stand on this issue. It's absurdly easy to shoot holes in the so called 'facts' of the book, and I hope this song will encourage people who are in doubt to look into it for themselves." The song's performance is a "live" take with guitar overdubs; no pro-tools or pitch correction was used.
