Like a fine woodworker approaches cabinet making, Danny Phillips crafts songs of both meaning and eloquence. Phillips isn't content with slapping together a few insipid words that merely rhyme; he seeks the right word -- the exact word ‐ to color his lyrics, much like the painter hunts the perfect hue for the canvas. Influenced more by Walt Whitman and Robert Frost than the weekly Top 40, Phillip's lyrics attain a depth that provokes thought and moves listeners.
In today's rushed world where quality often takes a back seat to cheap materials and shoddy workmanship, it's refreshing to hear the thoughtful and intentional songs from the pen of Danny
Phillips. His ornate storytelling will remind you of the deep emotional quality that music is meant to possess.
