Black Hen album "Things About' Comin' My Way" (A Tribute to the Mississippi Sheiks) makes exclusive list of "THE TOP 35 MOST IMPORTANT ROOTS ALBUMS OF THE LAST 25 YEARS", from The Alternate Root Magazine!

"The brainchild of producer and guitar virtuoso Steve Dawson, the Tribute to the Mississippi Sheiks not only brought the music of America's first "popular band" to the fore, but it also was a music history lesson and civics lesson rolled into one. The Mississippi Sheiks were the first black musicians to play in the White House and were the first popular band to record and tour. The album was a who's who of Canadian and American roots musicians including John Hammond, Colin Linden, Bruce Cockburn, The North Mississippi All-Stars, Madeleine Peyroux, The Carolina Chocolate Drops and Jim Byrnes." (The Alternate Root)

Acoustic Guitar Magazine~November 2012 issue featuring Kelly Joe Phelps in-depth interview about his music process & song charts in an article titled SPIRIT IN THE SLIDE.

"Stylistically and lyrically, the music is gospel based, the lyrics laced with religious imagery, and to the delight of slide guitar fans, his National Style O and bronze bottleneck slide are right up front. I talked to Phelps about what inspired his new album and some of the new techniques that have reinvigorated his slide playing."
