Down Beat (2/00, p.70) - 4 out of 5 - "With his cloudy intonation and sensually nonchalant vocal delivery in sharp contrast to the glasslike clarity of his guitar picking, Phelps puts across a strong program dominated by original tunes....unfailingly perceptive [lyrics]..."Living Blues (1-2/95, p.105) - "...he can conjure up eerie and complex tones reminiscent of Ry Cooder's instrumental opening to the film `The Long Ryders.' Phelps bows to Skip James and Joe Calicott; the rest of the set consists of originals that mine the traditional blues themes of women and travel, with a little religion thrown in just in case."10.74003

Entertainment Weekly (p.139) - "Phelps' musicianship remains impeccable, and his tunes are immaculate and tasteful..." -- Grade: B+No Depression (p.127) - "Phelps writes snapshot vignettes born of short-story traditions and delivers them in sturdy acoustic settings drawn from folk, free jazz, and country blues."0.3297562

Q (8/01, p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Phelp's now picks like a Delta Nick Drake....[He] still has the blues but now they've gone to college. The songwriting has progressed in leaps and bounds..."Uncut (9/01, p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Phelps sings with a sure, expressive voice, which ranges from true grit to haunting falsetto. There's a quantum leap in his own darkly compelling songwriting..."CMJ (7/16/01, p.25) - "...Mistakes, improvisations, moments of inspiration - it's all here. The intimate feel of the disc is perfect for Phelp's voice, which is smooth and worn at the same time..."Living Blues (7-8/01, p.82) - "...Phelps' songs are highly personal, and he delivers them with a brooding introspection than can be quite compelling..."No Depression (9-10/01, p.139) - "...Showcases each member at the top of their game....giving us abundant reasons to keep pushing play."Mojo (Publisher) (7/01, p.100) - "...Phelps has brought in a band...that play with the exact blend of unobtrusiveness and substantiality...required by his deep, easy, frayed-at-the-edge voice and simple, folky country-blues songs..."0.2181132

Alternative Press (p.123) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The band's maturation has led to a more distinct sound and a mastery of melody, which only serves to add dimension to Ryan Patterson & Co.'s wall of sound."Pitchfork (Website) - "The guitars throughout the album crackle with distortion, yet the melodies are always straightforward and clear, and Patterson's lyrics are discernible no matter how he sputters and yowls."0.1502981

Down Beat (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[M]usically mesmerizing and emotionally evocative....Phelps artfully embellishes his present identity while elevating expectations for his future work."Living Blues (p.49) - "WESTERN BELL, like a novel, offers a densely rich narrative that unfolds between the melodic opening title track and the closing reverie, LITTLE FAMILY."0.1373984
