Press Reviews "Randy Phillips has issued a very fine collection of songs on her new CD Kicking a hole in the Sky, -- I was especially taken by the first song, When Your Love Has Gone Away--and transported to a long, lazy summer day. Phillips was wise in her choice of producer-Peter Sprague not only lends his arrangements and expertise as recording engineer, but serveral songs employ his sweet, melodic guitar work. Sprague may be a monster Jazz musician, but he moves easily into folk music body of wellcrafted songs and sparse but very tasteful arrangements. This CD would be the perfect companion for days of quiet reflection and musical travels." --Deborah Liv Johnson, Mojave Sun Records "I find her new record to be very melodic and calming to the soul; both admirable qualities. I think Randy Philliips has come up with an interesting blend of folk and a certain country sound that has originality and sensitivity. There's an organic quality to her music and a purity of sound that I find very refreshing." --Charles Mcpherson, International Jazz Musician "One of the most powerful qualities that music holds is its ablility to reveal to us the subtle inner workings of the human soul. Through Randy Phillips voice, music and lyrics we learn something about ourselves. The journey is a delightful one. She is a true artist." --Peter Sprague, Record Producer/Recording Artist "Randy Phillips's new CD is her best work to date." --Monica Walsh, Elizabeth Productions
