The music, which incorporates stellar guitar and bass work from long time friend & musical collaborator Marcel Miner, recaptures much of the style and lyrical turns that have helped maintain the long time, underground, international interest in the original "Magnetic Eyes" LP from the 80's. Houston's Traci Ki provided the wonderful background vocals heard on the tracks.

Welcome to Magnetic Eyes Music, named after a 1985, self-produced album by Jeff Phelps. Please check out the various music projects he's been involved in over the years, as well as the original Magnetic Eyes LP, his very 1st independent music effort. He wrote all of the music, most of the lyrics, played all the instruments, and produced the final product. This website was constructed as a result of the continued interest in "Magnetic Eyes" both in the states as well as overseas.
His latest project, Porterfield Rose, just released its debut CD. To get more information on this original instrumental project, please navigate to the "Porterfield Rose" link to the left.
