The Holy Grail of Acoustic Blues Albums

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I stumbled upon this album a few years back, when I was looking for some good acoustic blues. One of my favorite albums is Clapton's Unplugged, and I was searching for something similar, but there was nothing until I found Kelly Joe. When I first heard this CD, I really thought "This is it. This is the Holy Grail of Acoustic Blues". This is in the top 5 of the hundreds of albums I own and is one that I play frequently and never get tired of it. His guitar and his voice have so much soul & passion & feeling here, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Every song on this CD is great. You will not be tempted to skip over any track. Though I will say some standouts are "I've Been Converted", "Where Do I Go Now", "Lead Me On", and "Motherless Children". His version of this last one is better than any I have heard. I have some of his later albums, but his voice seems different on them. He has a little more angst or passion here than on his others. If you like acoustic blues or guitar BUY THIS CD NOW!

Review Comments: Kelly Joe Phelps plus a guitar equals a very satisfying musical experience. I'm very happy with this purchase, Phelps has inspired me to try to learn blues. He's a very talented and skilled musician. I recommend this album, you won't be disappointed.

Transformative

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: About ten years ago I first heard Phelps play at the East Coast Blues festival in New South Wales and, from that time, he forever changed the way I heard music as well as sending me off in a new direction in terms of what I listened to. It was instantaneous and durable change. This brilliant album confirmed everything about that first hearing. Not everything that KJP does enthrals me but this album is uniformly genius. It will break your heart and mend it at the same time.
Borrowing from Spinal Tap, there aren't enough stars for this recording. By the way, can CDs wear out?
