I got a nickname for you -“Keeper” Phillips, for keeper of the flame. You play the old country blues with great respect for the styles of the originators.

DAMN MAN !!!! Edward you are GREAT. 1920's and '30's you'd have been one of the big dogs. Alan Lomax would have been to your door with his recorder.

Nobody these days does the blues as good as you, Edward. You have a talent for playing the blues how it was intended, and I thank you for that.

My man, that was kick ass. You deserve way more subscribers. In the millions if there's any justice in this world. Keep up the amazing work brother!

Perfect, right down to Son’s “get outta town” ending. Love it!

"Get outta town" is how Rory Block described these endings. Where did you hear that expression, I wonder?

I recently found this channel. I'm hooked. Classic blues interpretations with a lot of respect for the original with great guitar playing and vocal sound.

[@richardwohl2629]

[@alexbowman7582]

There’s a video of Sunhouse playing to a college audience and talking about the country and he says to them “for those of you who don’t know what a field is” to much hilarity.

[@TimH86]

Man I love your songs and keep coming back to them. I think this is one of the best versions of Death letter blues, you play with such a strong driving rhythm - I rarely hear that when people play the great blues songs/riffs. I also love the way you sing to the different tunes. I can hear the influence of the original players, but it is definitely also your own. Thanks for sharing!
