Grant - Lee Phillips

Though his name might not ring any bells, Grant-Lee Phillips has been releasing critically acclaimed music for over two decades, both as a solo artist and with the 90’s alt-rockers Grant-Lee Buffalo. Little Moon, Phillips’ sixth solo album, finds the singer songwriter delicately crafting the kind of angelic alt-country gems that would make Jeff Tweedy salivate. Each song is intricately layered and profoundly dense, from the bar room rompers (“It’s Ain’t the Same Old Cold War, Harry”) to the larger-than-life boot stompers (“Strangest Thing”), each of these nine songs suck the listener in to Phillip’s elegant storytelling and don’t leave until long after the album’s over. But Phillips’ voice is the most impressive treasure of the album. His gentle croon lovingly traipses over these impassioned melodies and even amidst gorgeous violin swells on “Violet”, his dynamic vocals steal the show. Little Moon will undoubtedly be overlooked by most but those fortunate enough to hear it will be rewarded with the kind of music that lulls a tattered soul back to life.-Tim Webb
