Find Me In These Fields Review

The term classic is thrown around a bit much these days, but this one truly fits that bill. This is as close to a perfect collection of music as Phil could compile. It incorporates every facet of his music that he has mastered. With this in mind, it is not an inconsistent collection of music. Far from it, this album is masterfully laid out. Each track flows perfectly into the next giving you a taste of true acoustic through to hard driving rock and roll.
The album starts with a small acoustic piece that Phil fumbles. This is a brilliant introduction to this collection because right off the top Phil lets you become part of the experience. He says right off the top that he is only human. This removes auspices of him being more than the musician.

To me one of the most amazing things is that through it all, Phil's message is clear: God is worthy of our praise. The wonderful thing is that he makes praising the Lord fun for the believer and delightfully palatable for the music aficionado.

I am deeply involved in contemporary Christian music now. This album was my introduction to that some years ago. It stays as fresh today as it did when I first heard it close to 10 years ago.
