Album Notes

Rich Phillips spent years soaking in the musical influences of his generation- James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles and many others- and mixing this with the classical music heard nightly in his home as a child when it was time for bed.

An engineering degree, a career in corporate America, raising a family, and a spirit of adventure would lead to many stories of the heart that yearned to be told.

Ordinary Man spins these stories together to reveal an unusually honest apprasial of life and how we all deal with love, misfortune, tragedy and (occasionally) joy.

Produced by Kenny Edwards, an icon of the California country-rock scene, Ordinary Man sounds and feels familiar....and yet somehow tells the unique story of each of us as we briefly pass through this time together.

Earth-friendly packaging!
