5.0 out of 5 stars
Long time listener, first time reviewer., May 4, 2000
This review is from: Time 1 (Audio CD)
In the late 60's and early 70's, I was always on the lookout for interesting releases by obscure new bands, and the place to find them was at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. I stumbled across a group called Glass Harp and their album was an ear opener. I eventually bought 3 albums (I still have them) before the group disappeared. About 1975 I saw the WHAT A DAY album by Phil Keaggy in a Christian bookstore. What a sweet, melodic piece this title song was... and still is. This compilation CD covers Phil Keaggy's prolific career with some excellent selections from this guitar master. Also give a listen to VOL.2-TIME for some more older, no longer available nuggets. In fact, just about any PK disk is worth having. Keep checking Amazon's Auction site for early PK album titles like WHAT A DAY, LOVE BROKE THRU, EMERGING, THE MASTER and the MUSICIAN, and BEYOND NATURE. Phil Keaggy will open your ear, too.

One of the Most Talented Christian Entertainers- Ever! #1, August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Time 1 (Audio CD)
If you don't believe it, just have a listen for yourself. Phil has a gift for songwriting, singing, and most of all playing guitar- all for Jesus! It features a Glass Harp (his 1st band) rendition of "Do Lord". It features ballads ("Find Me In These Fields" and "Little Ones", a beautiful tribute to the Pro-Life movement). But it also features rock ("Sunday's Child", the title track of an album Amazon.com needs to pick up, and "Love Divine", Phil's tribute to the Beatles). Even if you don't like Christian music, you cannot underestimate the talent of Mr. Keaggy, who is able to put out at least one project per year. And of course, who cannot appreciate his great love for God, whether Christian or not? Also, check out Time 2.

A Great Christian CD To Listen To, September 15, 2001
This review is from: Time 1 (Audio CD)
Phil Keaggy is one of my most favorite Christian music artists. His music is so great to listen to, very simple yet uniquely one of a kind. The lyrics are good, sending a clear, strong message. The guitar work is really cool. Here are a few of my most favorite songs from his album "Time 1": I've Just Begun (Again): This song talks about a simple optimism in our walk with Christ. Even if we run into hard and sad times, we still have hope. We have to "try not to think of things that can't be done" because God can do anything. Sunday's Child: Another great song, the main theme of the song is about meeting the "King of Hearts". Love Divine: A fun song with a simple and loving message, about a "Divine Love" from our Lord. I Will Be There: A song with a beautiful tune and beautiful lyrics. The song is telling about Jesus "will always be there" for you. Where Is My Maker?: The words were taken from the book of Job, when Job cried out "where is my Maker?" The shuffle at the end is really neat, making me want to tap my feet and snap my fingers to the beat. What A Day: "What a day that will be when we go up to heaven" is the theme of the songs. Makes me want to sing along!! If you would like to start collecting Phil Keaggy albums, I suggest you start with this album, then "Time 2". Don't miss out on these great music!!!
