"Phil Driscoll's "Live With Friends" is a powerful rocking gospel tour deforce that can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates rock.soul,gospel or contemporary music styles. Phil is one of the worlds greatest trumpet players who before turning evangilist , rubbed elbows with Leon Russell, Blood Sweat and tears and Joe Cocker. Equipped with a Joe Cocker like voice, Phil can shake a song to its roots and bring an audience to their feet. This cd finds Phil in top revival form with great cover's of 'A Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Gotta Serve Somebody" and "Your All I Need To Get By". This is truly one of the best live recordings I have ever heard. The sound is flawless with out a hint of distortion. His song selections make this cd every bit an adult contempoary concert as well as a gospel cd. Although not in the mainstream, Phil Driscoll is one of music's best kept secrets who deserves a little attention."
