By teaming up with PledgeMusic, the Baker family is able to offer, direct to the fans, a first listen and look at this collection of tracks, chosen by Ginger, from all the different stages of his long and extraordinary career. In addition Ginger and his daughter Nettie Baker have compiled a very personal family album picture book of art, artwork, photos and other images many of them never seen before.
