Unexposed to much of the roots blues from which it comes, Kelly Joe Phelp's playing has opened a world of deep felt passion and movement that I have not known. I am literally floored and, as a guitar player myself, I must stand in awe of his fluid and graceful motion. Kelly Joe is probably the best blues lap slide player in the world. I feel strange new folk music. I like Hawaian and many folk music.
New album is fantastic.
Man, you're an inspiration. I've seen you twice when you came to Calvin College. Your stage presence is incredible. Hope to see you again soon. By far the best and most eclectic slide player around these days.
