Martinis & Bikinis by Sam Phillips
About the album Martinis & Bikinis
The album Martinis & Bikinis by Sam Phillips, released on March 8, 1994, is the seventh personal album of the artist from California and is considered one of the top examples of contemporary pop-rock with strong influences from the 1960s. The production was done by her then-husband, T Bone Burnett, with the participation of Colin Moulding from XTC in the production of one track.
The musical style of Martinis & Bikinis is characterized as strongly Beatlesque, with psychedelic elements reminiscent of the Beatles' Revolver era. The album includes twelve original songs and a cover of John Lennon's Gimme Some Truth. The record features great musicians such as Peter Buck of R.E.M., Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers, and orchestrator Van Dyke Parks. The song Circle Of Fire was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1995.
Despite receiving excellent reviews, Martinis & Bikinis did not achieve anything better than No. 182 on the Billboard chart.
