Appreciation Of Recognition
Hello All,
I want to say Thank You very much to all of you who have been listening to the songs, "Life", "The Force That We Call Life" and "Man With A Gun" on the album, "Continuance" I put on N1M.
For those who don't know my work, this is my 27th album and I hope y'all will want to hear some of the other albums. They can be found a lot of places like Spotify and other music streaming services as well as on Amazon for some of the past albums. You can see details of my career on Wikipedia.
I've worked with some of the most amazing musicians all over the world to create these works and one of the secrets to my albums is that I never take direction (this is a huge no no in the music business) from anyone and I never tell the musicians what to play! You simply don't tell musicians like Alphonso Johnson, Stanley Clark, Leland Sklar or the guys from Herbie Hancocks band, (who played on the album, "Rumpelstilskins Resolve) what to play, Steve Winwood and "Traffic" and Eric Clapton who all played on the first A&M album, "Contribution”. The litany of A-List players I've worked with are, at the beginning for the recording of every album, told that the basic song/chord structure is my vision of what it should sound like, now add your vision to what you think should be there. I will not record unless all the musicians that are going to play are in the same room at the time of recording. There’s no magic or spontaneous creative improvisation when each player adds to a piece of music from something played the day before, as is done by most musicians today.
I will be adding other albums to N1M in the future for your pleasure and should you wish to buy a download or a physical CD, please go to shawnphillips.com
Being one of the thousands of musicians who are unable to tour because of the pandemic we are living through, I am doing live streaming concerts on Facebook every couple of months. I will always post around 2 weeks in advance of a live show, so please be on the lookout for these announcements.
I wish you all, Health, Love and Clarity
