5.0 out of 5 stars This one gets better with age, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 220 (Audio CD)

After buying the album I listened a few times and put it aside. It was only after coming back to it and really -listening- that I noticed how absolutely magnificent and subtle the guitar work is, and how it outshines most of the other work I have of Keaggy's (a VERY extensive collection). His flexibility and wide range are exhibited in this electric album, which I bought within a month of the recent acoustic only album. 220 is unbelievable, and highly underrated, and will now go in my collection as one of the very best I own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Instrumental Rock and Blues, December 16, 2003

In a departure from his normally acoustic instrumental offerings (Lights of Madrid, Beyond Nature and Acoustic Sketches), Keaggy offers up a selection of amplified tunes (hence the album title). While most of the music is heavily blues influenced there are a few songs that are a bit off the beaten track for the album such as Tennessee Morning. The work is a tour de force for Keaggy as he displays his impressive skill on the axe as well as his ability to interpret the music with great feeling and nuance (unlike some other guitarists who have profound technical ability but lack the emotional ability to bring a song to life).

I would highly recommend this album for any Keaggy fan as well as for those who like to hear someone just flat out wail. If you like what you hear, you may also wish to check out the outtakes from the recording sessions which can be found on Keaggy's "Premium Jams" two disk set which can be found at www.PhilKeaggy.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, August 23, 2001

That's the best word I can use to describe this disc. Clean but not overly slick production, beautiful chord progressions, especially on "Arrow" and "Montana", and excellent compositions. Mr. Keaggy is no showoff. His lead runs are tastefully flashy ( yes, he combines the two ). "Tennessee Morning", "Beyond This Day" and especially "Highland" (I feel like I'm flying over emerald fields as this song fades off), are as beautiful as ANY songs by this artist. The supporting musicians play excellently. 220 is Phil Keaggy's Masterpiece. Thank you, Lord.
