Our Take

Shawn Phillips' Contribution / Second Contribution is a delightful romp through the psychedelic folk rock era, full of quirky twists and turns that keep listeners on their toes. Phillips' distinctive voice and masterful guitar work shine brightly throughout the album, showcasing his unique blend of influences from jazz, blues, and world music.

The album kicks off with the funky groove of "Manhole Covered Wagon", a playful track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Phillips' poetic lyrics and intricate song structures captivate the listener, drawing them into his musical world with ease.

Tracks like "Steel Eyes" and "Bright White" showcase Phillips' knack for crafting catchy melodies with a twist, while the epic closer "Lookin' Up Lookin' Down" takes listeners on a sonic journey through a kaleidoscope of sound.

With its blend of introspective lyricism and experimental instrumentation, Contribution / Second Contribution is a testament to Shawn Phillips' unparalleled talent as a musician and songwriter. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Phillips whisk you away on a musical adventure you won't soon forget. Trust us, you'll be hitting repeat on this gem in no time.
