BIOGRAPHY:(Keaggy, Phil )
Phil Keaggy is an excellent all-around guitarist who has been a part of the CCM scene for over two decades. Born and raised in Ohio in a Catholic family of ten, Keaggy always loved music and spent hours listening to such singers as Johnny Ray and Elvis Presley. He began imitating the latter as young as age four. Keaggy was also exposed to other kinds of music and became well versed in classical. His first guitar was a late-'50s Gretsch Anniversary model; at age ten his father bought him a Sears Silvertone, and by the end of fifth grade, he was playing in front of his entire school. Three years later, Keaggy was playing professionally with the Squires. He and his longtime friend, Drummer John Sferra, founded Glass Harp in the late '60s when he was in the eleventh grade. They soon became known as one of the most innovative power trios around, even though they were never together long enough to break through commercially. They had a contract with Decca, toured the country several times, and had a growing base of devoted fans, many of whom were knocked out by Keaggy's lightning-Fast Guitar Riffs and experimental sounds. At their pinnacle, Glass Harp was opening for such major acts as Iron Butterfly, Yes, Traffic and Chicago.It was a lot of fame to be heaped upon such young musicians, and it being the late '60s, Keaggy was exposed to and partook of his share of drugs. His life changed dramatically on February 14, 1970. While lying in a hotel room suffering from a bad LSD trip, his parents were involved in a head-on auto crash back in Ohio. His mother died soon afterward, and this spawned a crisis for Keaggy that led to his becoming a born-again Christian. In the early '70s, Keaggy took to testifying before bewildered Glass Harp listeners after their concerts. He left Glass Harp in 1972 and the following year recorded his first solo album, What a Day. He then spent many years working with a Christian fellowship and married. Since then, Keaggy has released well over thirty albums earning critical acclaim for both his virtuosity on guitar and his songwriting, which ranges from the Beatlesque pop of Sunday's Child to more subtle intrumentals. He occasionally gets back together with the other members of Glass Harp for reunion concerts and continues to release solo projects including Roundabout in 2006.
REVIEWS FOR THE ALBUMS(Blue & Crimson & Blue)
The album, as mentioned in a previous review is a remix of Keaggy's "Crimson and Blue". I have to say that I found the original to be better due to the extended nature of several of the tunes and the more improvisational feel it has, but this album does justice to the original. The band was the best Phil ever assembled and you can tell on every song. I can't say that I've ever heard as tight a band or one that seems to be as in touch with each other as this one. All of the songs have a retro-rock feel to them, harkening back to Keaggy's 1970's roots, with a good heavy rock sound that manages to lift itself above three power chords. The lyrics can be biting and sacratistic as on the opening cut, "Doin' Nothing" or searching as with "When will I ever learn..." If you want to get Phil at his rocking best, get this or the original. And be sure to pick that up. 220 is a great instrumental blues and rock album to pair with this one.
REVIEW FOR THE ALBUM(Crimson & Blue )
Keaggy truly is a legend. After The Wind and the Wheat, this is my favorite CD of his. The variety ranges from meditative Avalon (a brilliant remake of Van Morrison's song) to high-energy Shouts of Joy. Lyrics are just as strong as his off-the-hook musicianship. As always, his guitar artistry mesmerizes. Not a single weak track here. It may be older, but it is an absolute classic.In my humble opinion, this is Phil's best rock album by far. The band is as tight a rock group as you'll get a chance to hear and the set list is first rate. The feel for most of the album is sort of late 60's early 70's Cream as evidenced on the tracks "Doin' Nothin", "John the Revelator", "Stone Eyes" and, to a lesser extent, "Shouts of Joy". Each of these tracks has the standard rock song verse/chorus arraingment followed by exteneded instrumental work that really shows off the tight interplay of the band which includes Phil Madiera Lynn Nichols, John Sferra and Wade Jaynes. Songs like "Love Divine" and "Everywhere I Look" show the strong influence the Beattles have had on Phil's writing and singing and balance the heavier stuff nicely. The slower treatment of Van Morrison's "When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God" is exceptional and moving as is the solo electric guitar work on "Nothing But the Blood." In fact, the only complaint I might have about the album is that I think the song might have osunded better as an electric guitar solo instrumental. Fans of Keaggy's instrumental music will find this radically different than Lights of Madrid or Byond Nature. Additionally, as Phil identifies himself as a Christian musician, many of the songs refelct strongly Christian themes. However, whether you're a Christian or not, if you are a fan of good, solid, tight rock music; this album is a "must own". I recommend it without reservation. I was ambivalent about Keaggy's "Inseparable". Not so with this album. After twelve years after first drafting this review, I am convinced Crimson and Blue is Keaggy's tour de force. If you are a guitarist who has heard about this talented muso, this is a good place to start. Yes, there are other great instrumental albums of his, both electric and acoustic, that are worth listening to, but all fall short of this album. It's here you hear him interact with a great band, hear him sing covers, play long engaging solos and most of all, show unbridled joy. Phil plays with bravado. Much credit must go to producer, Lynn Nichols, Phil's friend and fellow musician of years past. From what I have read, Phil said that Lynn pushed him to the limit of his singing and playing ability. The production is superb, the recording bright and detailed and for 70 minutes plus, one is caught up in the joy and vitality of a band in full flight. Indeed, this captures a band playing with the fervour of a garage jam or live concert. (How I wish I could have seen the tour supporting this!) In many ways this album, like one of the song titles, is a "Reunion of friends". Drummer John Sferra met Phil in the 8th grade. They played together in Glass Harp. Now Sferra holds all together magnificently. His Drumming is probably more responsible for the cohesiveness and consistency of the 60s and 70s rock style than anything else. Wade Janes locks solid on Bass while Phil Madeira, another friend of long standing, fills the soundstage with his Hammond B-3 organ. Against this bluesy backdrop we come to the maestro. Whether he is deftly playing Beatlesque licks that would make Harrison smile, or whether he is rocking the house down, this is exciting stuff! From the opening strident rock anthem, when Phil shouts, "All creation shows the glory of the Lord", this album slowly builds with intensity. One hears many musical influences, with three Beatle-like tracks ("Everywhere I look", "Love divine" and "Reunion of friends") which are almost too close to Beatle originals for comfort, to tones that remind one of Clapton in his Cream days. Yet Phil adds his own flavour as again and again his honest lyrics reflect his heart. You cannot separate his musicianship from his faith. The final four tracks continue to lift to the crescendo that breaks loose in the penultimate track, "Doin' Nothin'". This eight minute rock boogie will satisfy those longing to hear Phil unleashed. Together with the Clapton inflected "Don't pass me by", these are easily the heaviest Keaggy I have heard on a studio album of his. The final track is a masterful blues ballad as Jimi may have played. Phil focuses the album on the source of his joy and wholeness, his saviour. With this track there is an emotional depth that communicates lyrically and musically. A brilliant album from a mature, gifted musician.(http://www.holymetalradio.es.tl/
REVIEW FOR THE ALBUM(True Believer)
Keaggy sweeps the listener of her/his feet with a wonderful variety of old favorites (Be Thou My Vision has never been done like this! ) and new songs (True Believer, of course). He will melt your heart and then get your feet moving with up-tempo, contemporary songs. Beautifully produced, brilliantly arranged, and spiritually annointed.The version of "Be Thou My Vision" here is interesting, and would work pretty well for Keaggy, except that the producer has let a botched vocal take slip through ("save that THY art"???). "And On That Day," one of the best songs, is a lovely Christmas-related tune. But "Son Of Man" is ultimately the only track here that really feels like True Keaggy. Every single song on this album is fantastic! True Believer will pick you up when your feeling down, and bring you closer to the Lord :) Keaggy's vocals are better than ever and so are his lyrics! If you liked his 'Sunday's Child' record then you'll love this.I have been huge fan of Phil Keaggy's since Sunday's Child, and I think this was one of his best vocal (different catagory than his instrumental albums) albums to date. He stretched out with on the title track and added a spine tingling orchestral background to his powerful guitars and overdubbed lyrics. He reaches into new sounds with "Salvation Army Band" while still maintaining his grungier side with "Have Mercy Lord." The remake of his song "The Survivor" probably my favorite Keaggy song ever. The reviewers that gave this album one star have no idea what they're talking about. I believe this is a favorite of mine and was a blessing from God. If you listen to the words, the guitar that does flow in all the songs, the sound of the voice (kinda Paul McCartney sound), and lay back and listen, you'll take a trip with something you wish you could have written. Very enjoyable.and it is exceptional both musically and vocally. Apparently, Keaggy is more well-loved for his genius on the guitar than for his vocals. His voice is certainly unique. Listen to him once and you will never forget his voice or mistake it for someone else. His voice is appealing because it resounds with joy, confidence, and victory. The best songs on this album are "True Believers," "Be Thou My Vision" (accented by his Irish-esque vocals), "And On That Day" (listen for Susan Ashton's lush, delicate vocals), "Don't Let Go of My Heart," and "Wildheart." Those songs, alone, deserve 5 stars. The message of "Survivor" will stun and move you the first time you hear it.(http://www.holymetalrob.com)
