John Phillips's country-influenced solo album, ''[[John Phillips (John, the Wolf King of L.A.)]]'', enjoyed critical favor but was not a commercial success, despite featuring the single "Mississippi", which reached No. 32 in the US. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' gave the album four stars when it was reissued in 2006, calling it "a genuine lost treasure".<ref>James Hunter, "John Phillips (John the Wolfking of L.A.)", Rolling Stone, November 2, 2006.
