It's a lovely week to be a fan of mercurial sixties singer-songwriter P.F. Sloan, with his first US album release since 1972's Raised on Records (my review of Sailover is here), a feature story in the L.A. Times (which I had a small part in, passing contact info for Phil's one-time songwriting partner and Bubblegum Award recipient Steve Barri along to writer Richard Cromelin) and a terrific electronic press kit over on YouTube, where Phil wanders around London, talks about the record with producer Jon Tiven, leafs through old photo proof sets and lets slip the secret identity of Hallowe'en Mary. It's great to see Phil looking so happy, and getting the recognition he's so long deserved.
