Phil Gammage - It's All Real Good (2019)

Phil Gammage is back with a new nine-song album "It’s All Real Good". For this project, Phil found inspiration in such classic acoustic records as Johnny Cash’s American Recordings and the recordings of legendary blues artists such as John Lee Hooker and Lightnin’ Hopkins. It’s All Real Good features Phil’s vocals, guitar, and harmonica along with the talents of some of the best instrumentalists on today’s contemporary music scene. The main showcase of "It’s All Real Good" however, is Phil’s songwriting — all nine songs were penned by Gammage.

The sessions were produced by Tony Mann (The Star Spangles, Jayne County, The Hypno-Twists). Stand out tracks include “Dancing on Top of the World” — Phil’s tribute to the late great New York City music venue Windows on the World (on the top floor of the World Trade Center), “Hellcat Maggie” about the 19th century American folk legend, and the Roy Orbinson-esque “Let Love Begin”.

With guest musicians Kenny Margolis (Willy DeVille, Cracker) on accordion; Tony Mann on percussion; David Fleming (PG4) on harmonica; and vocalist Michele Butler. Recorded at 30 Below Studio in New York, NY. Engineered by Brent McLachian and Tony Mann. Mastered by Joe DiGiorgi at Headline Studios in Mamaroneck, NY.
