Music reviews of Phillips 66Music Review: Highly recommended posthumous release
John Phillips was one of those figures in popular music that showed incredible potential but succumbed to self-inflicted tragedy. As a pop songwriter, he was among the best of the mid-60's to early 70's. As a pop vocal arranger, he was simply the best. His star burned bright as leader of the Mamas and Papas and continued to shine just as bright in his solo recording, John the Wolfking of LA. But then he extinguished it himself due to his drug excesses and eventual addictions. His autobiography, Papa John, is fascinating reading. After his Wolfking release, there was just nothing from John Phillips for 30 years. But now, posthumously, there is Phillips 66. It makes you wish he had not wasted all those years. Finally he got straight in the 80's and, in the new century, recorded an album that stacks up well with his very best. Phillips 66 is laid back. It is understated. Absent is the high energy of I Saw Her Again or the pathos of Someone's Sleeping. His life was steadier and fuller at the end and that comes out in this recording. Of his new material, I like Slow Starter and She Got She best. These songs are great pop songs. She Got She could be a top 40 hit. He only rehashes one old song, California Dreamin'. And it is well worth the rehash. Entirely different from the original arrangement and yet just as compelling, this recording of California Dreamin' features John Phillips up front and his reading is compelling. The song samples provided by Amazon are good indications of the flavor of this recording and it is one I recommend highly.
