about

"Like Hendrix, but in a vastly different way, his guitar is the voice of his soul, and it's a soul as stirring as that of any great poet. In an era of cynical, corporate-inspired copycatting, Walls is the work of a true original." - huH Magazine

"Phillips opts for songs of luminous, lyrical beauty. They demonstrate his playing has not grown any less adventurous over the years, only become more focused and disciplined. Album title to the contrary, he clearly doesn't need to walk through walls. He can soar over them on the wings of his startlingly bold imagination." - Anthony DeCurtis

Phillips is a dexterous player with an abundance of technical expertise. His real strength lies in his ability to fuse melody and texture to create music full of vitality and originality. The spectrum of sounds he draws from encompass the diversity of New Age music, the complexity of progressive rock, the reality of blues and folk, and the daring of avant-garde jazz. This is perfectly illustrated in the intricate sounds of "Slow Fear" and the superb "The Pipes are Calling". The latter is a truly magnificent piece that builds in intensity with Phillips' guitar and keyboards emulating bagpipes. The entire album is quality stuff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. - Guitar Player

Former Hampton Grease Band guitarist Glenn Phillips has just issued his tenth solo album, Walking Through Walls. He remains a bold stylist, retaining the open-ended spirit (and trademark vibrato shiver) of his younger days, but deploying it in much prettier contexts. He favors soaring modal melodies with ornate, folk-like ornamentation (think Mark Knopfler via Richard Thompson), stringing his tunes across simple digital synth pads….Phillips has never lost his talent to startle, morphing in seconds from teddy bear to grizzly. His technical idiosyncrasies - that electrified vibrato, those unholy portamentos, the off-kilter tones - make him instantly recognizable; his bipolar sweet/savage temperament keeps him fascinating. - Billboard
