Singer/songwriter SAM PHILLIPS is a former Christian singer who became disillusioned with the form, left it, changed her name (from Leslie), and started writing songs which explored her own singular spirituality. Since 1989 she's been making pop music that's been admired by the critics. One critic wrote of her 1991 album; "On the surface, Phillips seems just another wispy-voiced, ethereal singer-songwriter, writing moody songs chronicling the dangers of corruption and obsessive love. But (its) fraught with both beauty and tension." PHILLIPS newest album is "Martinis & Bikinis." (Virgin Records). PHILLIPS is married to T. Bone Burnett, who has produced several of her albums.
