Interviews I Wish I Had Done: Sam Phillips


Dw. Dunphy at Popdose has scored an interview with one of my favorite singer/songwriters Sam Phillips. Phillips is just too damn modest, but I think she would disagree. Consider this quote from the interview:

“I am happy when I like a melody enough to repeat it.  It is a thrill when other musicians play things you want to hear over and over again. I have never been good at professional songwriting.  I aim at the target and always end up hitting something else.”

Phillips’ melodies roll around in my head all the time, even years after hearing them. That’s how great of a songwriter she is.
