The turning sam phillips


The Turning is the fourth album by Leslie Phillips originally released in 1987 on Myrrh Records. It was later re-released in 1997 under the name of Sam Phillips.

Contents

This album marks the first time that Phillips worked with producer T Bone Burnett. The two would marry not long after the release of this album and Burnett would go on to produce more albums for the singer. The Turning stands out as a turning point in Phillips' career as a singer and songwriter; on one side, the cheerful, upbeat pop-rock albums that she recorded in the early 1980s, and, on the other, the quirky 60's music influenced rock and folk albums, with a much darker and more poetic tone lyrically.

This album was listed at No. 8 in the book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music (Harvest House Publishers, 2001).
