I Just Became A Sailor

So here’s the deal,
I’ve spent the last four weeks of my life in a studio in east Nashville. Some wonderful people ad I have been investing and immersing ourselves wholly and heartily into twelve songs that will soon comprise my second record that is tentatively named “Cannons”. It’s been quite a rewarding process. One which I am sure I will expound on in a later blog. But for now I will leave you with a photo. I wanted to clear my mind one day of all the sounds and songs, so I took a little trip on a boat.

I’ve always liked boats.

    Hey Phil! I’ve been a fan ever since I listened to your first album, and I can’t wait until the next one comes out. You’re an amazing lyricist.

    God really speaks to me through your music. I appreciate you posting those chords on your myspace, I totally copied that song Divine Romance. God bless you in all you do for Him.

  10. Oh, Nashville… How I miss you.

    I’m sure “Cannons” will be an amazing album. I definitely look forward to hearing it!

    And the picture is sweet. Christian Rios seems to be a killer photographer from looking at his MySpace. I almost like it as much as Jeremy Cowart’s stuff.
