Phillip Foxley
IT’S
UP
TO
US
This lyric is called ‘It’s Up To Us!’
and it all began when listening to
a news bulletin about a terrorist
attack in France. This was quickly
followed by more bulletins about
further attacks elsewhere in the
world and I thought “why can’t we
all just get along together, it’s up to
us really” and the first lyrical seeds
were sown. When the first verse
was completed, I thought it might
suit a few piano chords I was
playing with at the time and hey, it
seemed a perfect fit so I continued
with it. With the help of talented
session musicians, Deri on vocals
and Ori on keyboards, the result is
a song that I’m quite proud of.
Phillip Foxley is a multi-genre
songwriter, guitarist and music
producer. He writes Blues, Rock,
Punk and Piano/Acoustic music
for TV and film soundtrack
licensing from his home studio in
North Wales, UK.
With influences like Buzzcocks,
The Clash, David Gilmour,
Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Mick
Ronson and Leslie West, Foxley
has now released his own debut
album entitled “I’ll Try ‘Till I Die”,
an eclectic collection of original
blistering blues rock guitar and
soft acoustic and piano tracks
written over the years. Foxley says
“Every track on this album means
so much and every note is from
my very soul”.
This album is like my musical life
story. It’s also a ‘big’ album in that
there are over twenty tracks on it
already and, because I don’t intend
to release any more albums, I just
keep adding tracks to it as they are
released so it’s always up to date.

“If you’ve never heard of Phillip
Foxley then you should seek out
his music, turn up the volume and
zone out. It reflects the maturity so
loved and appreciated in the great
blues rock players. His song
collection has all the right stuff;
edgy blues to classically styled
rock to soft acoustic and piano
tunes. It’s like listening to three
generations of blues-rock on one
album”. Jamsphere Magazine.
