For The Record is a full-length album from Phil Bonanno featuring 10 tracks of handcrafted rock and roll. Blending reggae grooves, singer-songwriter storytelling, heartfelt love ballads, country influences, blues textures, and straight-ahead rock, the album moves freely across genres while maintaining a cohesive sound. From delicate violin arrangements to roaring electric guitars, each track reveals a different shade of Bonanno’s musical identity.
