Philip Franklin
For now it's just me, Phil Franklin..So Hi and hope u like the songs. I play a Fender Strat, Gibson SG and Fender bass on these tunes, also sing and record all on my Guitar Tracks home studio. Also I do the singing and songwriting/arranging. Some very talented musician friends make guest appearances on both CD's, including Dan Junk and Austin Pettit. Right now I'm finishing up my 2nd CD with all original tunes. Subway Madness Meltdown from my first CD, Riff City has been selected to be released on a compilation CD of Train songs called Ride the Train #20. It should be released end of March and will be available from a number of sources. I'm very happy to have one of my songs selected for a release that will be distributed over 4 continents.
