OUTLIER
My 8th studio album, recorded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and released in January 2021, is called OUTLIER.
I saluted some of the early folk legends that influenced my early life, including Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, with the songs Message in My Ear and Lighten Up Your Load. It was also great to have Sarah in the studio to play piano and sing. One of my older songs, Sarah Softly, portrays her life growing up, at a time when her mother—my daughter—sang some of my very first songs during the maiden recording sessions in Nashville. On My Place, it was dream to have Sarah play and sing this duet with me.
Having my longtime friend and music confidant, Jonny Polonsky, topped off the OUTLIER sessions. He always seems to know what I’m trying to express with a song, making the process go as if we’d been rehearsing for hours. His guitar playing, B3 organ, drums and even accordion, not to mention vocal harmonies, brought to life the likes of One Time Again, Trip of Your Life, Heavenly Dew, Why Wait for Heaven and The Devil Always Wins.

Wizard's Shoes 2:030:00/2:03
Recorded at Shangri La studio in Malibu, CA, one of the most renowned recording studios in music history. Overlooking Zuma Beach, it was designed in the early 1970’s to the specifications of Bob Dylan and The Band. The studio has consistently maintained its place on the cutting edge of sound recording, and is still one of the greatest analog studios. It has also hosted some of the most well known names in music, from Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, and Metallica to Crosby, Stills and Nash, Adele, and Lady Gaga.
Free Will, and all songs on the album, was recorded at Shangri La Studios. Written and produced by Phil Maffetone. Engineered and mixed by Sean Oakley. Special thanks to Rick Rubin, Jonny Polonsky, and Eric Lynn.

Better Days (demo) 3:020:00/3:02
Phil Maffetone brings a unique, often modal, blend of pop, folk and rock to his songwriting -- not sad, not happy, but a feel that is “an essence of life, no more, no less.”
Phil's first album includes the likes of John Frusciante on guitar (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Brad Wilk on drums (Audioslave) and solo artist Jonny Polonsky.
