Shawn Phillips - Early Morning Hours 3/8/08

Still rocking at age 65!
Recorded at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, IL. From his 2008 North American 65th-birthday tour. Sorry the video gets slightly shaky at the end...I was trying to keep it still through the tears.

My Mom played Shawn's albums so much back in the early 70's I'm amazed the vinyl didn't wear out. Funny how this music brings back memories of childhood like nothing else ever could. This song will always be one of my all time favorite things in life, music or otherwise.

Awesome! I share your sentiments....always been my dad's favorite, and therefore became a big part of my childhood too. I love it terribly. :-)

Just watched this.. made me go to my album collection and find rumplestiltskins Resolve.. wasn't easy, finally found it safely lodged between Cat Mother and the all night news boys, and Panama red..... just had to listen to the full album

I am and we are all still waiting for that DVD that Paul Buckmaster is remastering of the last concert here in Minnesota that took place in July of 2008 and I cant wait to get my hands on it.

Shawn will always be on the cutting edge of music genius and that is why I love his music.

hey there is someone in Whitney Texas that loves his music, but here is a schocker i haven't found anyone here that has heard of him but when they hear his music, that's another story. One of my friends cried, she was just moved by his voice. His music just kicks it so well.
