Originally aired:
Phil Lee writes intelligent songs full of wit, humor and grace that blend sizzling Dylan-esque rock and roll, country and western, mid-sixties British Invasion and medicine show sounds that end up being utterly unique and sung in a voice that can shoot straight through to your heart. His new album is called So Long, It's Been Good To Know You and he calls it his "first posthumous release." His guitar player/producer/accomplice/crony Richard Bennett dubbed him "the Don Rickles of Rock" and true, Phil will sometimes fan his quills porcupine-style as a situational barometer. But he doesn't do it much these days; no need. When you make records as good as Phil Lee does, winning friends and influencing people is a cinch. Phil was in the area and we bribed him with a game of candlepin bowling to stop by the WMBR studios and play for his, er, balls. The session will be broadcast at 5pm.
Location: 88.1 FM
