Celebrating 'Phillips, Grier & Flinner' with Eric Skye

from Bluegrass Jam Along Hosted by Matt Hutchinson

My guest on the podcast this week is Eric Skye, who joins me to celebrate the album 'Phillips, Grier & Flinner'. Released in 1999 on Compass Records, it marks the first collaboration between bassist Todd Phillips, guitarist David Grier, and mandolinist Matt Flinner and features three original tunes from each. We chat about how Eric first discovered the record and why it means so much to him, plus what's so special about these three musicians and this collection of tunes. We also chat about the album's sound and why listening is such an important part of making (and understanding) music. This was a fantastic conversation to get to have and it's always a pleasure talking to Eric. You can buy 'Phillips, Grier and Flinner' on CD or as a digital download in mp3,FLAC or WAV via the Compass Records website For more info on Eric's music and production services, check out ericskye.com The Chris Thile and David Grier bootleg we discuss in the episode is available via sugarmegs: Part 1 Part 2 Setlist Happy picking, Matt Support the show === Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)
