I would really dig Phil Keaggy, except that my brother, during his REALLY INTO GOD phase, kept talking about how great he was. That kind of ruined it for me.

If this guy weren't missing a finger, he'd be a 1. I'm giving him a 2 out of kindness, I suppose.

Simply marvelous. This guy might take the place of Tony McManus in my book.

If you've ever heard any Glass Harp, you could appreciate the compliment based on technical ability even if Keaggy's career detour as an early "Christian Rock" player kind of capped his public exposure. |

Hey! This is where I live - I thought it was only Van Morrison who did that sort thing.
The music's one helluva of a lot brighter and more enjoyable than the view out of the window today!
He must have caught County Down on a better day to inspire this.

This is just beautiful. It's the type of music that makes me want to drop my life and go to a mountaintop to study acoustic music.

It always interest me that so many people compare Keaggy to Hedges - this song may be newer than Hedges' stuff (I don't know) but Keaggy has been around for MUCH longer than Hedges was.
I love this song, though - it demonstrates another facet of Keaggy's sound. This guy's shredded on most styles of guitar playing across many genres.

At first I thot it might be related to the Firefly theme song in some way - but goes waaaay beyond once I heard more. Wow!  |

I'm very impressed you have Phil Keaggy on your music list... he is truly one of the greatest guitarists around... I saw him in Nashville last spring and thinking all he did was acoustic stuff now these days... he still rocked out with fire and finesse. Not bad for a guy nearing 60 years old!

Everything I hear from this guy makes me stop what I'm doing and look to Winamp or my browser to see who it is. Amazing stuff...
