Phil Gammage - Redeemed (2024)

Songwriter, vocalist, and guitar slinger, Phil Gammage is a Texas-born and raised artist who now resides in New York. His new album Redeemed, is a robust collection of Americana songs as diverse and heart-felt as the genre itself. Twisting from railroad cars, endless roads, and the folklore of 20th century America, the album draws inspiration from Phil’s life as a musician, historian, and fiction writer.

Standout songs include the pop flavored "Good Place" and title track "Redeemed", the country tinged "Right On" and "Johnny Lee", and the bluesy "Serious Trouble" and "Woman in the Window".

Gammage continued his collaboration with other creatives and chose to co-write many of the album’s songs with prolific Hudson Valley poet David B. Schell. The result is a greater diversity in the lyrical themes that comprise the album. "Collaborating with David as a co-songwriter comes easily for me and the results are always good.”

Phil also chose to record a classic song from the American songbook — “Prisoner of Love” a song written in the 1930s and recorded by a wide range of artists including James Brown and Perry Como. Gammage's version captures an element of great drama not often found in contemporary music.

The album was recorded in New York at various studios over a period of one year and was produced by Gammage. Phil enlisted the talents of New York's greatest musicians to contribute to the recordings.
