Someone at a party put on Shawn Phillips record and when I heard his voice and his music I stopped everyone from talking so we could listen. Have been following him for 50 years as well; saw his in Boston and quite a few years ago in Austin, Tx. I read he is 80 years old and still has a beautiful voice, amazing messages, and is a truly gifted musician with an amazing range.

Saw him do this song live 2 nights ago on his "farewell tour" date in chicago. It's still a beautiful song and at 75, he still has the voice. Been a fan for nearly 50 years now and he is still making wonderful music. Truly one of our national treasures - and that is not "fake news"!

Lemme guess He played at Fitzgeralds in Berwyn? I'd seen him there twice

His last appearances in the area were at Evanston SPACE. I did see him at Fitzgerald's a number of times as well. He said he enjoyed playing the Evanston club much more then Fitzgerald's. A better venue for the performer (he actually called Fitzgerald's a s--- hole which kind of surprised me).

I agree with you that his voice “enters” you. It penetrates into your soul like no other voice on the planet. He’s profound.

When people ask me who he is...I tell them he's the greatest voice you've never heard. Amazing musician, singer, songwriter; a thinking man's artist.
