Jay Viddy sent out a PM to many of his network connections [including moi] inviting Fuzz Heads to check out Phil Dutra and I'm glad that I did. Strange as mutual, early joiners in the Fuzz "beta" I did not do this before [at least with the attention to detail that your work deserves].

My favs are the signature song of your EP [Right Behind The Rain], Superman, and what I would suggest is a cross between the original tracks of "She Walks Away" and the more muted Michael Lloyd Remix of the same song [since I can't decide which is better in my minds-ear and I don't yet have the technical know-how to create my own remixes].

I'm sorely tempted to join the growing Music 2.0 movement whereby artists are prepared to open their work up to outsiders to have a go at adding multiple layers and dimensions to original work- in this regard check out the discussion between Scott Blonde of The Lovemakers, John Tooker of Marqui Adora, and Fuzz techie Phatduckk. Obviously, there must be much soul-searching discussion to take place about what constitutes original work and additional creative content; and I think this is one of the best places to do it.

In checking out your site and the progression of your music from Atlanta, to LA [and your meeting with producer/"sound engineer", Micheal Lloyd], and now to Austin, I thought your music [pop catchy melody and lyrics] is particularly well-suited to breaking out into stems and trying out a variety of mixes and even mash-ups to see what "new magic" comes up.

I think there are a multitude of potential Dutra fans out there in Fuzz world who would be hooked by the incremental participatory creativity that flows from remixes and mashups because your work [sound/lyrics] is sufficiently distinctive to survive the onslaught of invention. What do you think?

good stuff. keep it up man!

I really liked "Right Behind The Rain." The song has an awesome message and is very well written. I love the music as well...it reminds me of the Smithereens old sound. I love all kinds of music and I think once every "musician" "fan" and "society as a whole" start just listening without prejudice; music will become the new religion. Keep up the good work!

hey phil, "(let me be your) superman" is amazing!! great music u have here, I gave it 5 stars and added it to my playlist

Hey Phil, I'm really digging your style! Good luck with the move to Austin, there's a good scene down there too.
