Search - Phil Lee :: So Long, It's Been Good To Know You

With thirty years of road work and songwriting, Nashville singer songwriter Phil Lee is the real deal. You can hear it in his rough-edged voice, and in the vivid imagery that his lyrics present, with stories of worker-bee illegals, truck-driving killers, rats, weasels, and humans with rodent-like qualities. Lee's is a world of people on the literal and figurative outskirts, straight out of Springsteen's Nebraska, just a little further south and with a sense of humor. And there's always that burning desire to rock to a country beat. They are songs without judgment: Phil isn't throwing stones, but he is a master knife-thrower (seriously), so don't cross him. His songs hit their target on first listen. The new album is named after a Woody Guthrie classic updated on the record with the Phil Lee touch, So Long It's Been Good to Know You. Get to know him before he gets away.
