Brother Phelps disbanded in 1995, with Doug rejoining the Kentucky Headhunters as lead singer, and Ricky Lee assuming a solo career.

Ricky Lee served as lead vocalist, while Doug played bass guitar and sang backup vocals.

After the band's second album, 1991's Electric Barnyard, failed to produce a major hit, Ricky Lee and Doug announced that they were leaving to form their own group.

The newly formed duo (named Brother Phelps, after Ricky Lee and Doug's minister father),[3] signed to Asylum Records in 1992.

[3] Brother Phelps' second and final album, Any Way the Wind Blows (its title track a J. J. Cale cover), was released in 1995 to critical acclaim, although it failed to produce any Top 40 singles.
