Shawn reached out through time and space and captured my soul with this song. I felt like he wrote it just for me and it seemed I'd known him my whole life. I was blessed to meet and spend some time with him not long after. It was a very spiritual pinnacle.
Don't remember this being unpopular with anybody I knew in my group of die hard shawn fans back then. Also remember that it was immensely popular in Japan, as Shawn himself was back then. The song won a best song of the year or some such over there.
I've longed to hear this song again since my copy of Bright White was stolen twenty years ago. Thanks for posting it. I'm glad to see Shawn Phillips is still going strong.
most unpopular with his fans...........he was well advised to go back to his inimitatable personal style of music and so he has for all of his subsequent albums
@kattfisher4 While I truly miss my Dual turntable that I wore out & couldn't find replacement parts for, and thus find myself listening to Shawn on my 17" MacBook Pro, I am astounded at how good Shawn's music sounds even on vastly inferior equipment. Hats off to Apple's engineers, as well as to Shawn's magic musicality.
Wow, Crown amp and Pre-amp. A college buddy had the set up and push 4 AR-3 speakers He lived in an apartment. Our favorite thing to to do was play the applause from the beginning of the Bangeladash Concert real loud whenever a friend knocked on the door and came in. It was like walking out on stage.
just found this amazing artist yesterday after seeing a video of him playing with Donovan. thank you and everyone else who has posted videos of him. peace & love
i have been searching for this song on you tube for awhile now...."thanks for posting" is an understatement...you've made my day!!! (no need to respond.....just wanted to say thanks)
@iloveinstein You're welcome! I first bought the 'Second Contribution' lp back in the 70's after hearing his music played on fm. SP's vocal range is incredible!
On my way to see Shawn, this evening in St. Cloud ,Minnesota at Pioneer on 5th tonight at 7;30. My brother is opening for him Acoustic Phrases. So
excited..

Listen to his voice, the quality of emotions, tones, and the soaring of his voice can carry you so far. Enjoy it.
