CD Reviews

This is one of my favorite CD's

"One day I was driving down the road when I heard this song that just touched my heart. Upon returning to work I immediatly called the radio station to find out that it was Melt by Phil Roy. Before I was even able to purchase the CD I was on my way to see him open a show in Philadelphia. I have purchased way too many CD's to find that there is only one song on it that amazes me. This is not one of those CD's. I find each song to be moving in it's own unique way. I highly recommend Grouchyfriendly to anyone with an open mind who appreciates true talent. I have to say that up until discovering Phil Roy and having the pleasure of seeing him perform live, I have never found an artist who even comes close to touching me and humoring me in the way that Tom Waits does. Phil Roy is a true talent and Grouchyfriendly is an amazing example of music and talent at it's best."

"This singer/songwriter hits the heart and soul with such knockout lyrics. His sound is unique yet familiar. A must have for anyone staying current with the best in the business of making music."
Unparalleled

"The greatness here is that Grouchyfriendly is not a compilation of homogeneous songs. The joy is that each song is entirely unique and whole. That "Melt" is a great song is no argument. But in addition to "Melt," there is the gentle "Show Me the Way Home," the slick "This Business of Love," the funny and profound, "Alcohol Affection" and the soothing "It's Alright." There is a depth of expression in Phil Roy's voice that is real. The guitar work of Heitor Pereira and Ricardo Silveira weave throughout to create a sound that is unparalleled in anything I have heard. Each time I listen to Grouchyfriendly, I am stirred and amazed but it's depth and subtlety. Now that I have found Phil Roy, I can't imagine being without him."
