NZ Award Winner Ginny Peters Releases Single It's Alright

New Zealand (Top40 Charts/ RCA Records) - Ginny Peters a leading NZ female artist in the 80's and beyond, reached a pinnacle in her career last year, when she was inducted by Bob Everhart in Iowa into the US Old Time Hall of Fame.

This year , she releases a unique recording uncovered after many years.

Ginny is well known in the US with recording ties to legendary music host Cliffie Stone producer of the longest running country music television show on the West Coast of the USA. Hometown Jamboree featured all the big artists of the time including Elvis Presley and Hank Williams.

At the time that Cliffie produced Ginny's album he was in charge of the Country Division of ATV Music Los Angeles in the process of being purchased by Michael Jackson.

Cliffie is remembered as a member of the CMA Hall of Fame in Nashville Tnn, The Hollywood Walkway of Stars, The DJ Hall of Fame and the holder of many distinguished honours.

He was responsible for hit recordings by Tennessee Ernie Ford (Sixteen Tons) Merle Travis, Tex Williams (Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette) Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant and many more.

Butterfly Wings is an album that the NZ singer|songwriter Ginny Peters recorded in California under the direction of Cliffie Stone, during the time he headed Capital Records A&R.

The recordings took place over two periods, November 1985 and May|June 1986. Cliffie Stone assembled some of the very top musicians to back Ginny's sessions - musicians like Jack Daniels (Highway 101) in guitar, Curtis Stone (Highway 101) on bass, Jay Dee Maness (Desert Rose Band and The Band) on dobro and steel Brian O'Doherty (Ricky Nelson) on keyboards and Doug Atwell (Western Union) on fiddle.

Two singles were released in New Zealand by RCA, but with a change in management they decided not to release the album, and in the process the master tapes were lost. After Cliffie's death, his wife Joan Carol found another complete set and Butterfly Wings is the result.
Ten of the songs were written by Ginny, with I Only See You recorded 12 times, and In the Arms of A Memory, a hit in Australia for Brian Letton.
It was Ginny's unique vocal style that attracted Cliffie, and he has captured this on Butterfly Wings.
