 
Kelly Joe Phelps “Lead Me On” 15 Year
Anniversary Edition
“ … One of the cleanest, baddest, and most
soulful slide players on the scene today.
His impeccable timing and intonation
should be an inspiration to slide players everywhere.”
-Guitar Player Magazine
Nearly 15 years ago to this day Kelly
Joe Phelps walked into a Portland, Oregon recording studio
called Dead Aunt Thelma’s to record
his first full-length album.
Kelly Joe brought nothing more to the
sessions than his faithful Gibson acoustic guitar set up to
play lap slide, a hollow stomp box,
and a brace of songs that had been honed to perfection by
hundreds of performances in smoky clubs and
whiskey-drenched bars across the Pacific Northwest.
In a small, warm-sounding live room
Kelly Joe arranged his hollow stomp box at the base of a simple
wooden stool, sat down, and gave Mike the nod to roll tape.
Over the next several hours, 15 songs
were quickly recorded.
Now, 15 years later, we are very
proud to re release Lead Me On with 24 bit remastering, previously
unpublished photographs by James
Rexroad, and two exclusive bonus tracks taken from the original
master tapes: “Ever Be Here Again” and a haunting and
inspired
interpretation of the 1935 song “We
Got To Meet Death One Day” by Blind Willie McTell.

Steve James “Boom Chang” Burnside
Signature Series Recording
Click CD to Order
“Boom Chang is not quaint or
pretty. It’s big, brash country blues, full of spit and swagger.”
Kenny Berkowitz, Acoustic Guitar
On Boom Chang Steve James’
expressive voice, imaginative lyrics and 1932 National tri-cone resonator
guitar
weave a cinematic tale of poverty,
loss, driving rain and love-haunted sorrow.
Austin slide guitar sovereign Cindy
Cashdollar ( Asleep at the Wheel), Alvin Youngblood Heart,
Mark Rubin ( The Bad Livers) and the
late harmonica maestro Gary Primich all bring their formidable talents to
this record.
Together this powerhouse group
creates a soundtrack that rocks like a Memphis Jug Band, reads like a
Steinbeck
novel and conjures a mystical
time-warped snapshot of the Mississippi Delta at the turn of the century.
24
bit re-mastering, completely redesigned artwork with rare unseen pictures
that are the trademarks of
all
