I still have Dancing with Danger as an album, somewhere in the boxes of stuff we drag from place to place.  Leslie Phillips was quite different from the CCM artists I listened to at that point - there was a sense of ache, a complexity that made her stories stand out.

Over the past 25 years, I have listened to Leslie - now recording as Sam Phillips - as she has created art & story with words & sounds.  It is telling to me that she describes her fav hobby as:

Trying to make order out of chaos.  Most of the time, it doesn?t work.

You can hear that in her songs, the effort to make order & disorder that often accompanies that effort.

Listen to this Tiny Desk Concert she did at NPR - and just enjoy !
