I love the idea of serving your fans and give to get marketing. Its how I have built my Indieheaven.com organization. I also LOVE Phil's music, nothing against him, or Derek or Shaun, but they are all a product of the labels, and if they did not have that credibility boost and marketing at some point in their career, they would be like so many of the indies I rub up against.. More power to the indie! Keith Kevin,

I agree about Phil's jump start by the labels but Brody's point is that by blogging, connecting with his fans, and giving away a free live album (excellent by the way), Phil's sales on 1 and 2 year old albums are in the top 10 this week. "Cannons" is up to #8 on Amazon mp3 today. Deserving album, label released, but promoted in a unique way combining a free download with accessibility makes collectors want to support the artist even more. It does for me and puts Phil in a category with Shaun Groves and Derek Webb, which is pretty great company in my opinion. Keith, good point.

Without that jump start, Phil would be like any other indie.. struggling to get heard. Phil was brought to the public by the labels.

Miller Fri, 15 Aug 2008 04:47:04 +0000 http://skorinc.us/brodyharper.com/?p=1782#comment-9345 Hey Brody, I'm commenting here so maybe you can prob Phil if you think this is a good idea. I saw Phil at House of Blues Dallas, and watched the Live project online. Also, I've been listening Singalong for a few day (love it), and I have the same question over and over. What I want to know is "How in the world does Phil get that wonderful, jaw-dropping, rich tone from his guitar?" I think a great blog post for him would be to walk-through his entire set-up. I know he detunes his guitar, but what other tricks is he willing to share? Any pedals on the floor? Any effects being used back at the sound console? What strings does he use? What brand/model guitar? I'm commenting something similar on his blog, but I thought you might be able to prime the pump, so to speak. Keep up the fantastic work.
