Shawn Phillips Launches

limited edition REFLECTIONS CD!

 

The new CD was recorded, produced, engineered, mastered and duplicated by Phillips in his home studio in Port Elizabeth. “I wanted to give fans something very personal. Having had numerous requests for a CD featuring only voice and guitar, I decided to take it one step further and literally ‘hand make’ the CD. My wife did the layout and design and the only part of the CD which was not done ‘in-house’ was the print run of the liner notes. I like to think we’ve lowered our carbon footprint while making this CD!” said Phillips Phillips says he has been fortunate enough to have major international record companies sign him since the mid-60’s but has seen the trend in the music industry change over the past decade. “The internet has brought previously unknown artists into peoples’ homes and they are gaining much needed recognition through this medium. Record companies have to spend a fortune to get their artists played on the radio or TV but the Net has changed all that,” said Phillips. “A lot of work goes into a project like this. I am concerned with excellence in what I do. I also want to maintain a strong relationship with my fans and I feel that by doing something like Reflections, I am making more of myself available to my fans in some way. They are the people who have put me where I am today and I will always be grateful for their support,” said Phillips.

Phillips is a rock pioneer. Keeping true to his roots in folk music, he experimented with classical, fantasy iconography, surreal verse, mysticism and voice. The results produced the multi-million selling album "Second Contribution." Four of his 18 albums charted on Billboard's top 100. Four singles charted on Billboard's top 40. Celebrating 40 years of recording and touring, Universal Music honored Phillips with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 23, 2002.

Signifying the strength of his fan base, No Category, Phillips 18th studio album was a result of fans going to this website where they donated the money to cover the recording costs. Yanni acknowledged that Phillips was one of his favorite artists, and Alanis Morissette sat front row at a recent concert. To learn more about Shawn Phillips visit www.shawnphillips.com
