“…you gotta love that lick that wandered over from “Watching The Detectives” on yet another standout by the standalone blues singer. Prolific, talented, hard working and blue collar essence of a certain American masculinity, Gammage remains the real deal.”

Rock NYC

New York-based roots and Americana musician, songwriter, and recording artist Phil Gammage presents a new single “The Woman in the Window” from his upcoming album Redeemed.

Song written by Phil Gammage and David Schell. Produced by Gammage from his upcoming album Redeemed.

The Woman in the Window is a song about unresolved longing, secrecy, fantasy, and shame in the big bad anonymous city. The protagonist is searching for something emotionally but can never find it and is not even sure what it is he’s looking for, or why he’s searching. He is driven by a strong emotional force.

The song is a snapshot of the human condition. It’s a “day in the life” scenario describing someone in a troubled situation on many levels… very cinematic… a film in two verses.

~ Phil Gammage

Joining Phil (lead vocal, guitar) on the recording are Brian Edward ‘Bobo’ Hack (Rover Boys Trio), Screaming Rebel Angels) on guitars, Johnny Young (Peak) on piano, Jeff Gordon on bass, Michael Fox on drums, and Lizzie Edwards (Lizzie and the Makers) on backing vocals. Recorded at 30 Below Studio and other studios in New York, NY. Produced by Gammage. Engineered by Brent McLachlan and Gammage.

About the cover… the photograph is of an unknown woman taken by an unknown photographer sometime in the 1940s. Phil chose it for the cover because he found her image captures the nameless longing that the song is about.

About the video… filmed in in New York City, the video is a tribute to the black and white film noir of the 1940s and uses the bustling anonymity, neon lights, and imposing architecture of midtown Manhattan to create an uneasy mood. Combine this with it’s use of vintage photos and the result is a fantasy reality that fits the music and lyrics perfectly.
