(eMusicWire.Org) – “Son Powers new CD, Install Me delivers some seriously cool songs with his throaty call of raw vocals that come off as unpretentious, unique and dynamic. Completely fresh lyrics! Amazing overlays of his own multi-performance tracks. I especially dig the deep rhythmical and often dominant bass, I know he has been a talented bass player for many years.”

Jim Phillips is a graphic artist best known for his rock posters, surf and skateboard art. His first published artwork was in the spring issue of Surfer Quarterly, 1962, and his art has appeared in many surfing publications since. From the mid-seventies to late eighties he was art director for Santa Cruz Skateboards, where he created hundreds of designs. He went on to be art director for Family Dog Productions at Maritime Hall and created rock posters for Bill Graham Presents and other venues. Phillips has created more than 100 rock posters for artists including The Beatles, Cream, The Doors, Bonnie Raitt, The Jerry Garcia Band, Moby Grape, Gregg Allman, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Phil Lesh, Hot Tuna, Tom Petty, Robert Cray, and many more. Jim is the author of “The Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips,” “The Rock Posters of Jim Phillips,” and “Surf, Skate & Rock Art of Jim Phillips,” all published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. Phillips’ art also is prominently featured in the seminal references “The Art Of Rock” and “The Art Of Modern Rock.”

Son Powers is a reclusive southern blues songwriter and occasional performer. An alumnus of the Jacksonville, Florida blues/rock power trio Worldwide Hoodoo, Powers’ earlier bands include Crosscut Saw, King Bee, Parker Brothers, and Charles Atkins & The Blues Boys. The new album “Install Me” is available on CDBaby.com, eBay.com, and other music websites.

A witches' brew of tribal rhythms, fuzz bass, brooding vocals, and staccato piano, Son Powers has composed and recorded quirky observations ranging from mind control, to civic responsibility, to unlawful flight across state lines, to sexual braggadocio, to the 9-11 attack, to a child's first prayer.
