"Keep the Wolves Away" by Uncle Lucius - Fiddle Cover by Philip Bowen 

I know this cover hits hard throughout Appalachia and it’s foothills moms and dads working in refineries, steel mills, mines.., just to keep food on the table and the bills paid, great cover!

This song makes me imagine the thousands and thousands of men and women working tireless hours to get by. Working late nights. Long days. To get by and take care of their families. Its beautiful song.

This makes me cry hearing it. You sir did a wonderful job on this song!

I just cannot believe this video is only been viewed 83,000 times... People are sleeping on this dude for sure.

This is the craziest, most heartfelt cover I have ever heard. Emotions run wild in this song.

Made this mountain cry...good job

Oh I'm so glad I found you. I'm from North Alabama but living out West. This reminds me of the South. My great grandmother played the fiddle on her front porch when I was growing up. Thanks for the nostalgia. 🫶🏻

this dude is a gift to music and brightens the world in this dark time

I’ve been saying that soul is dead but… I think it’s found a new home in the music industry. This performance was soul. The raw emotion on display here has me in tears and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Perfection.

NO WAY this is like my favorite song of all time!

Please never stop man!! You saved my life to many times!!!

Still so good

man you’ve been helping me get through these hard times. never stop what your doing, truly amazing and a blessing

All I can say is chills

That fiddle’s tellin’ a story…

Smooth as Tennessee Whiskey! I don’t drink whiskey, but if I did and it tasted like that….

You sirr make good songs great I appreciate you in hard times life's givin

That's right, Brother! Play me the songs of our people! Grateful every day that talent like yours is keeping the tradition alive. Thanks for all you do. 💗 -Liz

This song and especially with your magic touch has been hitting hard lately, my dad has owned his own self owned dirt work company with only 2 other part time people. After decades of un-imaginable work at 54 he has moved on and works for a company for better pay and hours and much more. All them years end this week and this song just fits in my eyes.

Love this song ❤ I would also love to hear the lumineers ho hey it's my wedding song

I'm huge fan bro. Please please I beg you do "the steel woods - rock that says my name" that song describes my life. I am alone in this world and I'm damn fine with my friend but it would mean the world to me if you covered that. Hell I might even shed a tear

Absolutely amazing 👏 I stumbled across your channel on tiktok and I couldn't stop watching. You play with so much feeling and joy...I love it, God bless!

Oooh second fiddle on God bless cowgirls

This song hits my core because my dad worked so many jobs that tore him apart to keep the wolves from the door

Great job man.

This is just simply amazing I can’t describe the feeling I get from this cover. I’ve heard the song before and I always thought there was just something missing from it and this was it. You sir have nailed it. Keep on buddy💪

This is Fantastic Phillip, I LOVE THIS AND YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR CHANNEL

Hi Phil, I've only discovered you about 2 weeks ago, but I love your music. The expression you put into your playing makes me feel like maybe I'm not so alone. I'm currently in a deep, multi-layered crisis in my life, and I've been battling with dark thoughts. The kind that many would consider a permanent solution to a temporary problem.. the cowards way out, so to speak. I find I've been turning to music as a way to encourage myself to hold on just a little longer. You've done a lot to help me in that struggle. Even if my main reason is just to have the chance to listen to another beautiful song. So thank you brother, thank you a million. And I'm sure you get thousands of requests on the regular, but I think Nutshell by Alice in Chains would be a really great song for your channel and would resound with a lot of people on a deep level. Thank you for taking the time to read. Much love to ya.

beautiful

Absolutely amazing. Gave me goosebumps.

This brings it to another level be super great if we could have it recorded in a stod

Love It!

I love this song and your channel...makes me want to learn how to play

Bad wolves Acoustical version Zombie would sound marvelous with your Musical Art,thank you,and God Bless !😌👍👃...

Will this be up on Spotify soon? Absolutely beautiful

God bless man you give me cold chills every single time. I got a request for you I think temporary love by muscadine bloodline would be beautiful

I listened to this song every day I was on the harvest trail some days I didn't sleep because I had to leave my pregnant wife at home I have a son now and I'm still doing it to make sure he has a future

I just hate I can't purchase this version on iTunes.... that fiddle makes a great song an even greater song!

Do you possibly have sheet music for this?! I really want to play it!! Such a beautiful cover

My brother in Christ, please put this on Spotify. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Something in the orange full version please🥲🙂

Love your music and the Tik Tok channel. Any tips to get me started on fiddle. Any recommendations on books or what to do. Thanks in advance.
