Vassar doesn't miss out on playing new song
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 – Rodeowave's Phil Vassar will join hit songwriters Al Anderson, Craig Wiseman and host Bob DiPiero this Wednesday, May 9 for 2 sold-out shows at the CMA Songwriter Series at Joe's Pub in New York City. The following day, he will perform his new song, Don't Miss Your Life, on the morning show "Fox & Friends."
Vassar wrote Don't Miss Your Life after striking up a conversation with an older gentleman on a recent flight. The man's job required constant travel, and he commented how much he had missed as his children were growing up. He warned Vassar not to fall into the same trap. "I started looking at pictures of my girls on my phone and realized I wasn't in any of them," said Vassar. "That's where this song came from."

Now, after a few albums that mostly failed to produce more than one hit single each, Vassar is trying to resurrect his heyday. Circus does have some solid tracks on it, ...
This is an ambitious title for country music's fun-loving, upbeat "Piano Man." Conjuring images of a hard-working fellow relying on faith to make it through the hard times, Phil Vassar's fourth album (and label debut) does indeed live up to its name, exploring the themes of the modern-day American - work, love, faith, family, heartbreak in Vassar's most introspective effort yet.
Vassar's voice still balances that fine line between smooth, soulful, and rugged, but ...
Some may consider Phil Vassar mainly a songwriter, but truth be told he brought his show to Nashville's road in search of success as a singer. Somewhere along the way, lavish lyrics and piano man talents were found and fine-tuned.
But this collection is the first to contain his versions of hits made famous by others. Although armed with powerful vocals, the music is somewhat of a disappointment, comparatively speaking. Some instrumentation on these "new" tracks seems strangely subdued in spots. ...
