Biography
"I was born in Fort Worth, Texas with a
silver spoon. The war was rollin,' and the deaths were tollin' and Crosby
crooned. The year was '43, I started learnin' how to be and I was on
my way" Shawn Phillips, American Child from Transcendence
Shawn Phillips is one of most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to comeout of the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. The mere fact that he was a
musician as much as a singer and songwriter made him stand out, and helped
him attract a dedicated following. His refusal to shape his music -- which
crosses between folk-rock, jazz, progressive, pop, and classical -- to
anyone
else's expectations has allowed him to hold onto a large and dedicated
cult
following, without ever achieving the stardom that his talent seems to
merit.
