Review

Q (10/01, p.128) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A surprisingly graceful coda to one of rock's most f***ed-up careers..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.120) - "...A breathtakingly personal portrait of Papa John....razor-sharp lyrics matched with swaying melodies..."

Amazingly, pop auteur John Phillips only made three solo albums after the breakup of the Mamas & the Papas. The first was the masterpiece WOLK KING OF L.A., which mixed country-rock with California folk-pop. The second an ill advised knock-off years later backed by the Rolling Stones. PHILLIPS 66 gets it's title from the age Phillips would have been around the time of its release; sadly he never made it. Both a statement of continued artistic validity and a wistful look back, the album contains new versions of a couple of Phillips's old gems and previously unheard compositions stockpiled over the years.

Phillips's wizened voice has a world-weary quality similar to that of Bob Dylan on TIME OUT OF MIND, but while Dylan just sounded near death, Phillips actually was. New depths of sadness are revealing in the deceptively sunny classic "California Dreamin'" and it's a treat to finally hear the writer's own version of Me and My Uncle," which became a staple of the Grateful Dead's repertoire for decades. As befitting a studied popster, Phillips is backed by the rhythm section from the David Letterman band in slick (though not overproduced), studio-perfect fashion, but the grittiness of Phillips's voice is enough to keep things from sounding too smooth.
