Shawn Phillips is a phenomenal artist, musician with a clear crisp voice and range. Had all his albums years ago. Loved him then and still love him now. Haven't been able to track down Bright White yet.
I had wondered where this guy is/was...I am a huge fan of Donovan's groundbreaking 3+ yrs progression thru his various styles ....I read his(Donovans) book (v good) but no mention of Shawn Phillips....yikes! doug
So how is it that incredibly crappy songs have YouTube play counts in the millions, and this absolute genius song that has been around since 1974 has just 1,237 views? This does not compute at all.
Where are the rest of us whose consciousnesses are light and deep enough to be able to truly experience the wonderfulness of Shawn's musical creations?
@TheSnowhappens At this point in Mankind's evolution of consciousness, yes, we are often in trouble when the majority rules, although many times rational intelligence does mix with love and joy to produce good from within the majority ... Shawn Phillips is a strong, shining example, and L. Ron Hubbard is another. We each can point to examples of true good from various majorities in our lives. And we can each continue to exert our influence on various majorities, to help wake them up. H, L & C
@Funandconsciousness I wish i had checked is sooner. thanks for the enlightenment. i am back on hope street. we do what we can do. I do so appreciate shawn phillips for his amazing music. I first heard him at 14("75) and have been mesmerized ever since.
This song is magical and brings back so many fond memories - what an excellent vocal range you have Shawn.

Because, Funandconsciousness, the crappy easily accessible songs have strong publicity machines. Shawn never got enough airplay or exposure.

I asked Shawn about this song and this is his reply:
Shawn Phillips "Hi Scott, it was the relationship with Carla I had for 9 years in Italy. H,L, and C, Shawn"
