Lynchburg's own Phil Vassar recently spoke with Forbes about his Nashville music career, the 20th anniversary of his first #1 hit "Just Another Day in Paradise," and his new album, "Stripped Down":
"I think a great song can stand alone on its own merit and doesn’t have to be overproduced. So, the songs really don’t have much instrumentation on them, they’re very simple, stripped down.”

About the author: Pam Windsor is a Nashville-based music and entertainment journalist who you may remember from her reporting days at WSET, WYYD and WROV:
"I enjoyed the opportunity to do this piece because I first met and interviewed Phil in Nashville for a couple of stories I did for WSET-TV back in 1999. He was gaining success as a songwriter and hadn't released his first album yet. It was really interesting to talk to him on the other side of things all these years later."
