Who's one of the hardest working musicians on the Texas music scene? Phil Pritchett! This guy rocks the house. I first saw him at Bill's Records and Tapes in Dallas, Texas years ago. He put on a nice little set in the record store. I think I was there to see Jason Boland, so I didn't pay much attention to Phil at the time. The next time I saw him was at the Crawfish Festival in Spring , Texas about 5 years ago. It was a rainy afternoon and most of the crowds had left or headed for cover. Phil came on stage and played to about 20 people....I knew I remembered his name but didn't remember much from the Bill's show. Wow! I was floored. He played with so much energy and excitement. His songs are catchy and he has a way with wording and lyrics that few can match. I was hooked. I went out a bought a few albums. My favorite is Cool and Unusual Punishment. It is a live recording and it captures the true feel of a Phil Pritchett show. Since then, I have seen him numerous times around the state. I strongly suggest you get out and check Phil out. He plays all over Texas, and his motto is anytime....anywhere....and he'll be there. His MySpace is here.
