His fourth record, Sky Like a Broken Clock, appeared in 2001. He released his second album, Roll Away the Stone (1997) and followed it up with 1999's, Shine Eyed Mister Zen.

He began singing and released his critically praised debut, Lead Me On, in 1995. ![]() Inspired by the birth of his daughter Rachel in 1990, Phelps began writing songs.
