Music like Shawn Phillips

Shawn Phillips (born February 3, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter and musician, primarily influential in the 1960s and 1970s. His work includes folk-rock but straddles other genres including jazz and funk. Phillips has recorded twenty six albums and worked with musicians including Donovan, Paul Buckmaster, J. Peter Robinson, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bernie Taupin, Tim Hardin, Manos Hatzidakis and many others.

The Texas-born singer-songwriter was described as "the best kept secret in the music business" by the rock impresario Bill Graham. His biography at Allmusic states that: "His refusal to pigeonhole his music - which seamlessly melds folk, rock, jazz, funk, progressive, pop, electro, classical, and global folk traditions - to meet anyone else's expectations allowed him to retain his cult following without ever achieving the stardom that his talent seemed to merit."
