Kelly Joe Phelps is one of the country's premier slide guitar players. He wows audiences and critics alike with his fast but nuanced finger-work and thoughtful, narrative lyrics. He stopped by the Front Porch studio late last year to play some tunes and talk about his new album.

Mr Phelps

Kelly Joe Phelps is a turning point in American music. He brings strands of the traditions of folk, blues and jazz into a literary regard. His music to date is like listening to the future, past and present at once. We are very fortunate to have this gentle man among us.
