Review.... Melodic Rock.com

"Phil and John are of course Canadians Phil Naro and John Rogers – he of Brighton Rock fame. The duo are playing across Canada as an acoustic duo – both singing and strumming those guitars. This album reflects that – totally stripped back to just the two vocalists with two acoustic guitars.
The material featured is all covers – featuring songs almost entirely from the classic rock era such as The Beatles, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Foreigner, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd.
Included here are such classics as help, Smoke On The Water, Only Women Bleed, Waiting For A Girl Like You and Dirty White Boy. Songs so well known, I don't even have to spell out who originally performed them.
One curious cover is my favorite track of the album – a cover of the brilliant Brighton Rock ballad One More Try. The glorious harmonies here are almost worth the price of admission alone.
In summary, a nice album that is performed with respect and love – but also an album mainly for established fans of the pair and those with a soft spot for good acoustic performances." He gives it 83%.

Re: That was great!

Phil,

Doreen and I really enjoyed seeing you guys at Eagle Vale. The show was phenomenal, but what was really the best was seeing all your friends and family laughing and talking and just being so happy together.

We had to scoot so we could catch Dickie's last set with Time Bandits, but are already looking forward to seeing you next time you are in town.

Please add my e-mail address to your mailing list, don't want to leave this to luck a third time!

Thanks to you and John for a really great show!

Regards, Mark Petrush.

Here's coverage more comprehensive than any insurance company could offer.
On their new unplugged CD, Cover Art, The Phil and John Show deliver no less than 17 rock standards, showing why they routinely kill on the GTA club circuit.
"These are songs people have requested over the years. We didn't pick them, really," said lead guitarist and vocalist John Rogers, prior to their weekly Monday night gig at Roc 'N' Doc's. "The only thing we were concerned with was picking songs that actually show off our abilities ... not that we're show-offs."

Rogers and lead singer and guitarist Phil Naro have been honing such songs through regular performances on Q107's Derringer In The Morning radio show, and the Classic Album Series at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre.
Their versions of Elton John's Tiny Dancer and Your Move by Yes are letter perfect. But, it's Naro's superior vocals and Rogers' intricate guitar lines on a classic like Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water that really grab the listener.
It speaks to Naro's talent that he can make AOR ballads like Foreigner's Waiting For A Girl Like You and Alice Cooper's Only Women Bleed ring true.
But, don't take my word for it. The Rochester native, who will be inducted into the Buffalo Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month, provides background vocals on the upcoming CD by CanRock icon Kim Mitchell, and also sings the theme to the YTV children's show, 6 Teen.
Meanwhile, Rogers' old band, Brighton Rock, recently had a second album reach gold status.
Naro says fans have been asking them to do a covers CD for years. And who knows how high this will fly?
Because, he's right when he says that these are "pretty radio-friendly tunes."
They hit the stage at 10 p.m. Roc 'N' Doc's is located at 105 Lakeshore Rd. E. in Port Credit. The CD is available at the show, or via www.thephilandjohnshow.com.
