I Don't Want To Go!
Gorgeous...just engaging through and through...vocals are superb!! Arrangement is so well developed...cello especially....VSTi?...did you do the arrangement Phil? Super!.....haunting harmonies...liked the space....yeah I can hear your guitar licks launching this to a darker and heavier place...if you wanted to go there...but this is fantastic!! Thumbs!
Beautiful orchestration, and a really good vocal performance, excellent lyric! 2nd listen now, and even more impressed, this is a gem!
Very well constructed intro Phil! Dig that vocal but would love to hear it with the verb dialed back just a bit. That's just how I am and nothing to vest much thought into more than likely! Sure do love the way you seem to be making your recordings a notch above the last everytime I hear the latest offering you bring forth. The only thing I'm missing in this are those impeccable quick and resonent strings that I'm used to hearing and it a says to me maybe this one ain't quite yet done? Like where you are heading musically sir! -Mike

Hey Phillip, love the intro! Vocals do stand out! Lovely strings and instrumentation! Super nice lyric. Just a wonderful job. Beautiful haunting track! Rates with me!
Hailing from Conwy, North Wales UK, Phillip Foxley is a songwriter and guitarist with many years of experience on stage and as a recording session player, often producing his own tracks in his home studio.
The story began way back in the 70s, when he first picked up the guitar having been influenced by a diverse range of artists and bands like David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Mountain (Leslie West) and many of the Blues greats. Initially, he was playing local clubs and bars, but soon found himself as a member of a number of established house bands and in regular studio sessions. He also found time to develop his signature sound, a blend of blues, rock and acoustic guitar and to write original material.
Then, for many reasons, life moved on and music took a near thirty year hiatus, until in August 2011, a colleague invited Phillip to a formal institute dinner (Phillip is a Chartered Design Engineer) and, knowing he used to play guitar, placed him at a table with other musicians. Well! after (quite) a few beers, attention soon turned to a deep discussion about guitars, amps and amusing playing experiences etc.. What a night! This was a revelation that re-ignited his passion for playing original, self penned Blues Rock music.
So, in November 2011, after writing several new songs and setting up a basic home studio to record them, Phillip released his first eclectic ep "One song is all you need ...", a collection of tracks spanning the artist's favourite own compositions over the years. However, Phillip soon realized that his home studio has limitations in both overall sound quality and production capability, so the tracks on the ep are to be re-worked, together with new vocal material, in a pro studio for Philip’s début album, coming in early 2013.
Phillip said, "this feels like a new beginning and a long way to go, but I'm greatly encouraged and inspired by the fan support I've received so far ... Stay tuned!"
