In a career of more than two decades, Sam Phillips has built an intensely loyal fan base that has tracked the evolution of her music from Beatles-esque alternative pop to seductively stripped-down torch songs - with an intriguing side trip into the world of The Gilmore Girls, where she served as composer. And she continue to enthrall music critics and her fellow musicians. In fact, one of the most highly praised tracks on the new Robert Plant / Allison Krauss collaboration, Raising Sand, “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us,” was written by Phillips and appears on Don’t Do Anything in its original form. That song illustrates the power of Phillips’ spare yet haunting approach. An evocation of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the legendary performer who bridged gospel and rock & roll, the track sports gypsy rhythms and has a beautifully broken-in feel, as if someone had spun it countless times on vinyl before tranferring the song to CD. With lyrics that alternate between confessional and dream-like, Phillips unfolds a multi-layered story about love and loss in which Tharpe serves as a kind of musical and spiritual guardian angel. “With deft, powerful strokes,” The Los Angeles Times has said, in a review of Phillips’ 2004 A Boot and a Shoe, “the singer-songwriter chisels emotions, impressions, yearnings and regrets.”
