Phil Read


Meet Phil Read from Portsmouth, England.

Just visited your web-site for the first time which is quite a unique milestone in my life because I have been listening to the wonderful music of "America" for nearly 30 years now. I just had to write and say thank you Gerry and Dewey for some magical moments over all those years. I was 16 when I bought the "History" album and I've bought every one since, and the ones released before. My life has changed so much over 30 years and your songs have brought me through the bad times and the good times. Each track takes me back to a certain time in my life, through the joy and the pain and I have often been moved to tears by those words. I am a man in my mid forties now and I will treasure all those albums for the rest of my life and I only hope you continue to make more. If only you could do a tour in England where I live, I'm sure you have millions of English fans who would come and see you.

Once again, I thank you from the heart for your wonderful music.

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Phil.
