Mojo

The singer-songwriter's eighth album starts with an instrumental and ends with an instrumental too. The nine tracks in-between are, er, solo instrumentals - there's not a peep from him vocally. But though a great singer, Phelps is a brilliant guitarist too, doing some wild and compelling stuff on six-string, 12-string and lap-slide (on wild, jagged Blowing Dust sounding like it's played inside-out).
