Artists:Evan Phillips
From WWR
|
Born and raised in the great north, Evan has been writing music and performing as a songwriter for 15 years. In August, 2004, Phillips released his debut solo album, Chickaloon, which received rave reviews locally and overseas. In the last two years, Phillips has opened for a multitude of national acts including: John Hiatt, Cowboy Junkies, Son Volt, Tim Easton, Australian rocker Anne McCue, and the Yonder Mountain String Band. As of late, Phillips is working to perfect his Patterson Hood scream when playing with his band, The Whipsaws.
Evan Phillips' new album, Chickaloon is truly interesting. It ranges from optimistic rock/ pop/ country hybrids to narrative blues/ folk and down tempo ballads. It is full of different but contemporary textures: slide guitar, bright banjo, harmonica, fiddle, both clean acoustic and fuzzy, effects-heavy art-house electric guitars, and unaccompanied solo guitar. The original lyrics are a pleasure to consider and could never be mistaken as simply a vocal accompaniment to the highly cool backing. Phillips' voice is comfortable crooning, as in "Slack Jaw Willy", a Dylan-esque soldier's ballad, or belting it out, as on "Been Down", a high energy march toward freedom and away from sadness. read more.
