"...his music developed a feel of his new home and halcyon days of the singer-songwriter brigade of the late 1960s, 1970s located there."

"...his style, a mix of '70s west coast hippie groove and classic cosmic country certainly has a deal in common with various ex-inhabitants of the area, including Neil Young, Emmylou Harris and Little Feat - together with the latest wave of Los Angeles musicians, best exemplified by Jonathan Wilson and Beachwood Sparks...it's that mix of the modern and the old that makes "A Light And A Line" so appealing. I can't recommend this album highly enough."

"There is something true, even timeless about this music – it feels neither contemporary nor nostalgic...a wonderful blend of folk and country music, with some pop elements...one element leading to that overall vibe is Philip’s voice, which has a sweet vulnerability and earnestness...If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, please consult a physician."

"On his second album we learn to know him as a sensitive young man who fits between musical countrymen Dawes and Jonathan Wilson."
~John Gjaltema, Altcountry.nl
"...when listening to these songs, you think back to the sound of the better singer-songwriters of the seventies."

"Boone’s A Light and a Line meshes confident vocals with strong instrumentation and recording style to create an wonderfully comfortable album...He knows his strengths, plays to them well, and produces one of my favorite country-rock albums of the year. The vocals simply shine throughout; in a genre where the telling of the thing is everything, Boone knows how to deliver a melody and a story. Highly recommended for fans of indie-folk and alt-country."

"Once upon a time in late 1960s, a few scruffy musicians decided that country and rock music were two great tastes that tasted great together. And thus was born a new style of music that retained elements of both while staking out some new stylistic territory. Philip Boone is a Southern California-based musician who is richly steeped in this country-rock tradition, but his breezy songs and gentle vocals owe as much to Nick Drake as they do Gram Parsons. The rest of the requisite elements are here: plentiful acoustic guitars, reedy harmonica chords, blissful, utilitarian drums and a piano that's pleasantly and ever so slightly out of tune."

"Philip's voice cleared the air with songs that brought the seasons, stars, houses and homes within his grasp, without overreaching...This was music worth hearing...Philip has a vulnerable tenor voice with an honest quality and a touch of innocence…There's a little mystery and a touch of awe crafted into these songs with lyrics that draw me in."
