For his third album, 1999's SHINE EYED MISTER ZEN, folk/blues guitarist Kelly Joe Phelps both expands and contracts his musical vision. Recorded almost solo--Dave Mathis blows harmonica on two tracks--at a club in Portland, Oregon, the new material here stretches far afield from the comparatively traditional songs on his first two albums, LEAD ME ON and ROLL AWAY THE STONE. The lengthy "House Carpenter" opens the album with some stinging acoustic slide guitar and Phelps' oblique yet evocative lyrics, followed by the pretty folk ballad "River Rat Jimmy." The album continues to alternate between Delta-style country blues like the John Lee Hookerish "Piece by Piece" and folkier songs including a lovely version of Leadbelly's classic "Goodnight Irene" that somehow finds something new in this much-recorded tune. The newfound folk influence is an intriguing new direction for Phelps.

Recorded at The Barley Cap, Portland, Oregon.

Personnel: Dave Mathis (harmonica).

Audio Mixer: Riley Wilson.

Recording information: The Barley Cap, Portland, OR.

Personnel: Kelly Joe Phelps (vocals, guitar); Dave Mathis (harmonica).

Entertainment Weekly (8/13/99, p.77) - "...Phelps serves up heaping portions of gritty warmth and tangy/twangy. He's a self-contained, flesh-and-blood music machine, and an important new voice in the slide guitar world." - Rating: A-
Q (9/99, p.112) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...Eerily translucent voice and guitar entwine, mastering the art of subtle embellishment while hopping invisibly between rhythmic chugs and single-note showers."
CMJ (7/26/99, p.24) - "...picks his strings attentively to achieve a warped, folksy sound that's as familiar and comforting as the crackle of a home hearth fire..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/01, p.104) - "...Unadorned, masterly, convincing folk-blues..."

For WICKED GRIN, John Hammond takes a break from interpreting the likes of Sleepy John Estes and Blind Lemon Jefferson to have a go at the canon of good friend Tom Waits. Further authenticating this project is Waits's involvement as producer and musician. Rounding out the cast on this impressive project are Sir Douglas Quintet keyboardist Augie Meyers, harp legend Charlie Musselwhite, Canned Heat's Larry Taylor, and Fabulous Thunderbird Stephen Hodges on skins. Turning to albums like RAIN DOGS, SWORDFISHTROMBONES, and BONE MACHINE for source material, Hammond used his pliable ...

As the title suggests, this set contains the second of two complete shows from the Doors at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, July 21, 1969. Both were professionally documented, anticipating enough material for a stopgap concert album as the band simultaneously composed and arranged new sides for their subsequent Morrison Hotel and LA Woman studio releases. With over three decades under the bridge and the blessings of the surviving bandmembers, Live at the Aquarius Theater: The Second Performance provides a real-time recreation of the entire two-and-a-quarter-hour performance ...
