Critics in the New York Times and other publications displayed unbridled awe at Phillips’ prowess on a range of instruments, including electric and acoustic six- and 12-string guitars and the sitar, and his singing range, a full five octaves from baritone to counter-tenor, as well as his songwriting.

“Phillips had locked onto a muse that was part Bob Dylan, part Donovan, and part Sergei Prokofiev. It’s a partnership of classical, folk, jazz and rock - music without boundaries.”
