Tunesmith Retrofit
Tunesmith Retrofit is the sixth studio album from Kelly Joe Phelps, the Portland, Oregon-based songwriter with country-blues and folk music as his roots.
Featuring the first self-penned instrumentals Phelps has recorded, Tunesmith Retrofit also includes instruments never heard before on his previous releases. The melodica on the title track, and the banjo, which features in Handful Of Arrows, a track which is a tribute to Chris Whitley, the acclaimed blues-rock guitarist who died last year. The talented slide guitarist Steve Dawson, fiddler-mandolinist Jesse Zubot, and keyboard player Chris Gestrin also appear on Tunesmith Retrofit.
Finely crafted songwriting and superb musicianship makes Tunesmith Retrofit an album of and poetic charm and musical depth.
