KATHY PHILLIPS:What makes a performer special?

Her debut album, SWAY (Black Potatoe Records), released in late 2001, was recognized by Courier News/Gannett Newspapers with nods for NJ's Best Female Artist and Best Song for her smooth, polished sound, a graceful connection between rock, pop and folk. ************************************************************ ** CARRIES YOU AWAY, the latest CD, produced by Matt Angus, is a collection of 11 roots-driven songs, with expressive lyrics, strong melodies, gorgeous harmonies and excellent musicianship. ************************************************************ ** "The sophomore release from Kathy Phillips ... showcases a confident talent with a strong, emotive voice who can really craft her songs."
