Hi people.<br /><br />I'm not the world's most prolific blogger, but here's just a word or two to let those of you who are interested know that my album "Words And Music" will shortly be available as a download from CD Baby. I sent them the hard copy a few days ago and am waiting to hear from them. I could take a few weeks to sort it all out and, I must admit, I'm a little excited about it.<br /><a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=279422602&albumID=152640&imageID=12296944"><img src="http://hotlink.myspacecdn.com/images01/99/0183d41d21f0c81976de9efd2c339e26/m.jpg" alt="Words And Music album cover" /></a><br />In case you were wondering, the child in the picture is me, aged about three years. Someone said I should have my picture on the cover, so here it is.<br /><br />Cheers, Phil
Well, Folks.<br /> <br /> My new album; "Words And Music" is now complete. I now have to find some ways of selling it to the public. As, with so much in this area, I am a complete novice. Any advice any of you can give me as to the various routes I might take to market my record would be very much welcome.<br /> <br /> Should I go down the download route, and If so how can I do this?<br /> <br /> Your confused friend, Phil
Hi Everyone.<br /> <br /> Here is the review I just received for my album:<br /> <br /> Tim Carroll<br /> FolkWords<br /> www.folkwords.com<br /> <br /> <br /> 'Words and Music' – musical observations from Phillip Hartley<br /> <br /> Occasionally you hear an album that rivets you with its simplicity and purity. 'Words and Music' by Sheffield-based singer/songwriter, Phillip Hartley does just that. Apart from writing the songs playing acoustic 6 and 12 string guitars, mandola, mandolin, keyboards and percussion, Phillip also produced the album.<br /> <br /> Sometime lead vocalist/guitarist with Hair of the Dog he's emerged as an accomplished solo performer with 'Words and Music'. And before anyone thinks a self-produced album might be of questionable quality, forget it - he's done a fine job. The recording is crisp, the instruments sound great and Phillip's voice - ranging from anxious and edgy to demanding and questioning - is as clear as can be.<br /> <br /> There are so many fine songs on this album it's hard to select favourites. The opener, 'A Long Way' is a sad, rather introspective song, but a good introduction to Phillip's style. 'A Question of Time' is an outstanding song about changing years and growing older, the lyrics are great and Phillip's vocals are spot on. Personal songs about love can often sound trite and tedious – if that's your view listen to 'Forever on my Mind' it will change your mind. The mournful tones of 'My Town' lament the closure of British industry with perceptive lyrics it's worth taking time to absorb.<br /> <br /> The title song 'Words and Music' talks about the doubts, trials and tribulations of the itinerant songwriter. 'Just Another Song' is meticulously constructed and the vocal delivery immediately conjures up memories of Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) and there's no negative connotation attached to that view. On the contrary, it's a positive comparison, Ian Anderson writes insightful songs that reflect his personal analysis of the world - and so does Phillip Hartley. The album closes with a little touch of humour in the song 'Shy' – but I won't give away the joke, you'll have to listen.<br /> <br /> If you enjoy unadorned albums with one man singing about his observations on life, delivering a range of mellow, sometimes slightly pensive, contemplative songs then this is an album for you.<br /><br />Album soon out on CD Baby.
