Phillip Sandifer – Recently Played
In my early years, which were rooted in contemporary Gospel, I was fortunate in having opportunities to record a duet with Jennifer Warnes, write songs for Glen Campbell and Fernando Ortega and have Roger Nichols mix one of my projects. I have participated on recordings distributed by EMI, Disney, BMG and Warner Music Group although most of my solo recordings have been released on Urgent Records, an independent label I founded in 1984, and more recently on Wider Sky Music, both distributed by Sony’s The Orchard.
I pressed pause on touring and recording in the late 90’s to launch a local community radio station (KDRP-LP, aka K-Drip) which serves the local community of Dripping Springs,TX. KDRP plays an eclectic mix of music including Americana / Texana flavored music and involves many local personalities and now reaches into the city of Austin. The music of KDRP reawakened my songwriting passion by reminding me of the authenticity and real life subject matter of much of the Americana music genre. Through a number of twists and turns and a couple of projects since I have been able to craft together this new project “Recently Played”. To me, it is collection of 12 songs of life, love, questioning and satire that has been one of my most rewarding endeavors of song craft and musical expression.
