Album Notes Personnel: Grant-Lee Phillips (vocals, various instruments, programming); Carmen Rizzo (programming). Producers: Grant-Lee Phillips, Carmen Rizzo. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. For all his pop instincts, Grant Lee Phillips is ultimately a folk-rocker at heart (hell, he was even the "town troubadour" on TV's GILMORE GIRLS), which is what makes MOBILIZE such a striking anomaly in the singer/songwriter's discography. While he hasn't abandoned his six-string, Phillips leaps into the digital world, adding layers of electronics and programmed rhythms to his sound. It's a testament to the strength of his vision that the production never overtakes the songs, and in the end, MOBILIZE feels more or less of a piece with Phillips's more acoustic-oriented recordings.
Editorial Reviews ...Largely guided by Phillips' husky, golden tenor, which coos and harmonizes across these tunes with near-cinematic granduer... CMJ (07/23/2001)
...Another splendid solo album... Magnet (09/01/2001)
7 out of 10 - ...Songs that wade through the waters of heartache to reach pop's redemptive place... Alternative Press (10/01/2001)
4 out of 5 stars - ...MOBILIZE is the album that always seemed beyond his [previous] group. The dreamy, elegiac opener, 'See America' is gorgeous... Q (04/01/2002)
