The Unionville Times - Phil Collen Interview Quotes

Delta Deep Album

"We recorded the rest of the album at the studio I have in my house here in California. I still have a place in London but I’ve been living in California for 26 years. We recorded the album live and got most of the songs in the first or second take. If you don’t get it in the first two or three takes, it loses some of the magic."

West Coast live Album/Setlists

"In our current live show, we’re playing pretty much the whole album - and some covers. We have a live album coming out this summer called ‘West Coast Live.’ We recorded our show at a little club back in January."
