Album Notes & Community Reviews

Founding Genesis guitarist Anthony Phillips continued his intimate solo exploration with the second volume of his 'Private Parts & Pieces' series. The collection largely features delicate, classically inspired acoustic guitar instrumentals alongside sparse piano compositions. It offers a profoundly peaceful, pastoral counterpoint to the bombastic symphonic rock of his former band.
