Zen Guitar: Kelly Joe Phelps Heads East
Ted Drozdowski, The Boston Phoenix, 5 July 1999
KELLY JOE PHELPS is a traveler. With a pair of acoustic guitars in his car's trunk and notepads scattered about its seats, he drives across the country alone, playing his songs wherever they – and his booking agent – take him. "It's better than airplanes," he says. "You get to see the little things in the corner of your eye that grab you, the changing landscape."
