Phil McClary’s new album Re-Imagined - The Songs of Phillip McClary is a bold reworking of his iconic catalog, blending his rich, soulful melodies with cutting-edge production. In an era where technology and artistry collide, Phil’s dream of crafting an album of this caliber has finally been realized—thanks to the power of advanced software. For years, Phil envisioned creating an album with the biggest names in the music business, but without the industry connections, that dream seemed just out of reach. “I always dreamed of making an album that could stand alongside the best of the best,” says Phil. “But without the right doors opening for me, it felt impossible. Now, with new technology, I’ve been able to create something I’m truly proud of—something that brings my vision to life in a way I could never have imagined before.” Re-Imagined marks the culmination of years of passion, perseverance, and innovation, proving that with the right tools, no dream is too big. Available now on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, iTunes and at Apple Music
Available on other streaming platforms.
Phillip McClary is a storyteller, a dreamer, and a musician whose life has been anything but ordinary. Armed with nothing but a guitar, a sick sense of humor, and a voice, Phillip’s journey through music has been shaped by both triumph and tragedy, with each note he plays echoing the raw emotion of a life fully lived.
From the start, Phillip’s music has been about more than just the melodies—it’s about sharing the truth of his experiences. His songs dive deep into themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and resilience, with lyrics that resonate with anyone who’s ever had to face their own demons. Over the years, his sound has evolved, reflecting the challenges and transformations that life has thrown his way.
In February 2021, Phillip’s world was turned upside down when a reckless driver slammed into his car head-on, leaving him in a long battle for survival. The crash left him physically broken but spiritually awakened. As he spent months recovering, he gained a new perspective on life—one that was more appreciative of the people around him and the fleeting beauty of each day. It was this experience that inspired his latest album, Re-Imagined, a collection of songs that breathes new life into his older work, now infused with deeper meaning and reflection.
Alongside the album, Phillip has released a pair of singles that showcase his ability to craft songs that hit hard and stay with you. The Sad Dog Cafe is an upbeat, hauntingly introspective track, exploring loneliness and the quiet pain that lingers in the corners of everyday life. Meanwhile, The Shirt, is a song about loss, vulnerability, connection, and the bittersweet moments that define us.
Through it all, Phillip’s music is a testament to the power of survival, the strength in vulnerability, and the importance of the connections we make along the way. Whether he’s performing live or pouring his soul into a new song, Phillip McClary remains driven by one simple truth: life is messy, but music is the thread that holds it all together.
