Phil Lee (www.phillee1.com), sometime truck driver to the stars (well Neil Young anyway!), fine singer songwriter, sings songs with a twang, a beat, and a wry sense of humour. His 2001 album “You Should Have Known Me Then” (Shanachie) was produced by one time Steve Earle producer, Richard Bennett, and included special guests Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Alison Moorer, members of Wilco and Billy Joe Royal. And a very fine album it is too, despite Phil’s own description of it as “Same old shit, different flies”. He’s touring the UK with “The Medicine Show” (www.medicinemusic.co.uk) at the end of July, and Barry Jones spoke to him at his Nashville home, just before he left. Interview: 16th July 2003
