Sky Like a Broken Clock is an album by Kelly Joe Phelps. It was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. Sky Like A Broken Clock is Phelps' first record to feature no traditional material, only his own original compositions. Phelps' first releases were essentially his voice and the voice of his slide guitar. He assembled a band and put aside the slide guitar to focus on his fingerpicking style for this release.

Sky Like A Broken Clock reached #8 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums charts.
