My Bio is at my website: Phil Roy
I've written songs for lots and lots of great artist.
My solo CD's have been well reviewed.
Again, more in depth at: www.philroy.com
I'll let others "say stuff" about me:
THE ARTIST SPEAK:
"This is Phil Roy at his Phil noir best. Eccentric, lush + musical.
An atmospheric wicked beauty.
Uncommonly smooth, yet strange and curious.
Enjoy the Roy"
...Tom Waits (Musician)
"A highly accomplished work"
...Leonard Cohen (Poet/ Novelist/ Musician)
"We're surrounded by junk and noise.
This is a record like an oasis.
Like a friendly smile out of nowhere, at the end of a hectic day."
Wim Wenders (Director)
"Phil's one of the greatest writers I know.
...Mavis Staples (Singer/Soul Legend)
I cannot get the new CD off of my player.
The music is so good I practically started crying while I listened and went over what you've been through to get to this point. Making important art that impacts people's lives is impossible without living, surviving and having the gift to pass it on.
... Stephen Hannock (Painter)
In the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art/ NYC
It's My World.. Your World..
Our World.. One World.
... Ray Charles ("The Genius")
Singing a Phil Roy lyric from the song "My World".
Warner Bros. Records 1993
PRESS + RADIO COMMEMTS:
Phil Roys "Issues + Options," one of the years two or three
most satisfying albums by an American singer/songwriter."
. Stephen Holden
THE NEW YORK TIMES
An undercurrent of raw melancholy runs through his songs making him a kindred sprit to brooding types like Leonard Cohen, John Martyn, and Peter Gabriel. He often sings in a thoughtful tenor with a back-up of folky guitars, and occasionally
he rasps like a haggard rocker,
but hes always full of clear-eyed compassion.
...Jon Pareles
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Singer Phil Roy is something of a local hero.
... THE PHILADELPIA INQUIRER
The Phil Roy album has affected me like no other record in the past decade.
Mike Marrone/PD
The Loft XM 50 / XM Satellite Radio
As a songwriter, Phil Roy specializes in what you might call a kind of "bleak optimism".
Steve Inskeep (Host)
All Things Considered NPR Radio
Phil Roys single ''Undeniably Human'' is one of the year's bright spots.
Steve Morse
THE BOSTON GLOBE
Phil Roy is the kind of under-ground singer-songwriter who just needs the right breaks to cross over into the mainstream.
...Darryl Morden
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"The Philly native channels Marvin Gaye's social conscience in the delicate soul of "Hope in a Hopeless World" while shifty world fusion envelops the introspective "Undeniably Human." It's moments like this where Roy shines".
--John Vettese
THE PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER
"Melt": "Song of the Year"
...Rita Houston
WFUV (NYC)
"There was a connection between the unguarded emotionality of Mr. Roy and the urbane sophistication of, say, Cole Porter. It has to do with intelligence and complexity," "Not style, but the depth of meaning."
...... Jane Moss
LINCOLN CENTER'S
VP FOR PROGRAMMING
"Melt" is simply one of the most gorgeous love songs ever.
Kim Curtis
