Faces

Digitally remastered edition of this 1972 album from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. The album was one of his most successful, reaching #57 on the Billboard charts. Shawn Phillips is one of most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to come out of the early '70s singer/songwriter boom. The mere fact that he was a musician as much as a singer and songwriter made him stand out, and helped him attract a dedicated following. His refusal to shape his music which crosses between Folk-Rock, Jazz, Progressive, Pop, and Classical to anyone else's expectations has allowed him to hold onto a large and dedicated cult following, without ever achieving the stardom that his talent seems to merit.
