For Phil Cook, it all began with the piano. A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and sought-after musician, Cook’s extensive collaborations span genres—from his role as a founding member of Megafaun to working with The Blind Boys of Alabama, Bon Iver, Kanye West, and Hiss Golden Messenger. Known for his sweet demeanor and remarkable musical versatility, Cook’s true sound has been elusive. Despite his diverse career, All These Years is his first dedicated piano album, offering a genuine introduction to his ease of expression and the depths of his emotional landscape.

This album is a consistently soothing and heartfelt. Put the needle down and let it carry you away.
