Making up tunes and whiling away the hours with an acoustic guitar on a roof terrace of a flat in an exotic locale like Barcelona, Spain seems like a dream way for one to spend their days. British expatriate troubadour David Philips has lived that dream, but he's sharing that dream with us through his upcoming CD The Rooftop Recordings.

On just his second album, Philips does away with already sparse accompaniment of Heal Yourself Alone and made The Rooftop Recordings all by himself, save for the remastering. Recorded in a room that leads out to the roof terrace, Philips engineered, produced and mixed a record that featured only him, his acoustic guitar and guest appearances by his 3 string cigar box guitar, a ukulele and a lap style dobro. Oh, and also a harmonica and some percussion provided by foot stomping here or there. All twelve songs are fresh new tunes that Philips conceived in that Spanish flat.

Having worked as a guitar sideman for such various acts as Brian Jackson (Gil Scott-Heron, Kool and the Gang), George Braith, Charlie Wood (Albert King), Alvin Youngblood Hart, Hook Herrera (Richie Sambora, Govt Mule) and Geoff Young (Sting, Steely Dan, Jackson Browne), Philips could have continued going on making records for others but some 5-6 years ago he discovered a passion as a singer-songwriter and his solo career was launched. So, Philips hadn't been doing this folk/blues gig all his life, it only sounds that way.
