Press Reviews Coming soon.... Reviews of the CD, "I Aint Dead, Yet" "For anyone who's heard Phil music, I love his sound! It's awesome!" Jim Malec ***************************************************** "I am torn between two songs:"Just Another Habit" and"Talkin To a Total Stranger" In my opinion, these two are by far the best but in different ways. I like "just" as an all-around-well-done and inspired song. Its got an intro and ending with effects. I love the guitar play and lyrics. "Talkin' To a Total Stranger" is a beautiful song with a great intro, guitar play, poetic lyrics, etc. Another song which I like is "Promises" which has a great guitar intro and vocals. Here are two songs which I found light-hearted & fun:"Bullies" and "Shop Talk" "Shop Talk" is entertaining, an-all-around-well-done song also. The intro and ending and guitar play is amazing. "Bullies" reminds me of some "punk" tones. Love the singing and lyrics. "Turn Yourself Around" to me seemed to have a punk feel to it also with poetic lyric. Theme songs:I like these songs because of the ideas being expressed. "Start With Me" and"Gotta Do It My Own Way"."Start With Me" a cool tune with great lyrics. The things I like about Phil's music are the vocals (emotional themes), poetic lyrics, great guitar play and effects. Can't wait to hear more. Rudy Sanchez **************************************************** "Sticks like super glue (and did the first time I heard it. Regarding "Just Another Habit" Galmin ""Just Another Habit" is in-your-face and it's got a great hook ." Rhonda Watson ***************************************************** "Just Another Habit" has clarity . Secondly, heavy guitars to my ear sound more radio friendly. Finally, I believe the vocals on "Habit" were passionate. Nolan ****************************************************** "Your music is very tight and reminicient of the old b/w days." Phineas Gage ****************************************************** hey phil I think "Bullies" is your best candidate for a single. It's hard to say which song is the strongest track really without listening several times (I did each one once), but "Bullies" is best for the attention deficiet market demands. "Bullies" has a Thin Lizzy meets the Sex Pistols thing happening...funny lyrics too. The guitar sound/attack on most of the tracks has a real southern rock flair. I'm not sure how this will go over in today's market, but you never know. Anyway, this stuff isn't what I normally listen to so my opinion is not real valuable, but I think you maybe could have a seller here. Good luck. Greg Bryant ***************************************************** Review: album "I Aint Dead Yet" Phil Frazier. Catalog # CBH3-007 Disclaimer: I will try to prevent from overly-namedropping and only succumb to that behaviour when absolutely neccesary. All over impressions: Great musicians. It sounds like the recording was on either an analogue system or it was in an analogue pre-production. Either way, it is clear to have been recorded some time ago, probably without 'modern' mastering (not saying that is a bad thing, just a reflection I made). Vocals: this is what makes this album really enjoyable. It is clear that the vox is the trademark of Phil Frazier. Loads of feeling in the vocal parts. 01, Just Another Habit. Tight set. Great familiar repeated riffs. The thing that makes this song stand out is the vocals. This is IMO the most fitted tune for airplay. The song has only one drawback in that aspect: it is 4 minutes long! (Check my coming comment on 'Bullies') 02, I’ll Start With Me, Very generic, this is the stuff that deja vu’s are made of. Again, the vox makes the tune. 03, Talking To A Total Stranger, Different instruments (not the regular rock-n’-roll setting) makes 'Talking' a dreamy song with appeal. 04, Turn Yourself Around, This is defenitely not the best tune on the album. To me it sounds more of a middle-song (filling out the space ). Sorry, didnt do it for me. 05, Whistlin’ In The Dark, I cannot understand why I first thought this was like a "Crosby, Stills and Nash"-tune. This song could very much be a lost track of Credence Clearwater Revival’s BEST OF! (Just after 'Who’ll Stop The Rain'…) There are great song writing skills here, repeating the theme without getting annoying. 06, Can’t Get Over You, Harmonica adding to the Rock-n'-Roll set. The song is probably the heaviest and most diesel-soaked one on this album. Hey, it's Miller-Time! 07, She Did It for Me, That guitar sounds a lot "Lindley", doesn’t it? Another song that simply works, with a familiar soundflavour. 08, Bullies, Wow! Nahhh, nah-nah-nah-naaah-naaah!! Haha, the fun song. 2 minutes 50 seconds of full throttle. 'Bullies' puts any Offspring-tune to shame. This should definitely be a single for airplay. 'Bullies' can never get boring. A definite attention-grabber! 09, Shop Talk, This is another attention-grabber, it is not fair for this song to be directly after 'Bullies' on the album.I would have placed either this or 'Bullies' much earlier in the songlist. 10, Gotta Do It My Own Way, Neat saxriffs and solos pave this song on all sides. The sound makes the mind wander to "The Commitments" finest moments
