It is indeed a cool time to be a music fan. Its great that guys like Mr. Phillips can continue to make interesting music long after the "business" has lost interest.

Thanks, Sir Brewster. I agree completely, especially when if you take the time to listen to what he's done on his own. He's making great records.

Transcripts of your radio interviews are a great idea on a number of counts (although I may be of a different mindset depending on what happens Tuesday ;)

Great stuff here Josh. I've never been a huge fan of Toad The Wet Sprocket or of Phillips solo work (which I confess I haven't heard much of). But I found his insights on the music business both fascinating to read and quite eye-opening on a number of different fronts. At any rate, reading this interview certainly makes me want to look further into Phillips work as a solo artist. Again, kudos on a great read.

Thanks, Glen. In one of the next installments of this series, Glen (Phillips) tips his hand a bit and points you in the direction of a good starting point when it comes to checking out his solo career.
I love all three of his full-length solo records for different reasons. With a gun put to my head, I think I come to the same conclusion he sort of does. Be on the lookout. It's a catalog worth investigating and people with souls like his music. :-) All right, that was overkill. Thanks for reading and the kind words. I do hope you'll make good and check out some of his albums. Be on the lookout for more from the series.
El B... Tuesday? What have you in store for then?
