Description
Shawn Phillips broke through on A&M in the early '70s with the albums "Contribution," "Second Contribution" and "Rumplestilskin's Resolve". With four other Shawn Phillips albums currently available on the Talking Elephant label it seems only fitting to be releasing his most recent work. Perspectives is his 25th release to date. "I don't like listening to albums where every track sounds the same," Phillips said. "This album is called 'Perspective' because it's the way I'm looking at the world today. These are pieces of music I wanted to get out there". Shawn Phillips is often classed as a musician's musician and often is supported by the best of the best in the music industry.

Shawn played here in Austin last weekend. I've seen him many times since the 70's, and his voice is, like many artists his age, now a pale shadow of its former self. Also, the last few albums have featured cliché lyrics and music, at least compared to his classic stuff. So, I didn't go to the concert, but I did hear part of an interview on one of our local public radio stations. His quick wit is still intact...
