Classic Keaggy with a twist
My girlfriend at the time had the tape, and put it in my tape deck in my 1984 Pontiac Fiero. The fist time I heard The Wind and the Wheat was back in 1987. I asked her who or what it was, and she told me it was Phil Keaggy playing guitar. I listened to it, and really liked it. I think that was the first time I had been turned on to any intrumental music like that before. Like many of you here, my favorite is The March of the Clouds. Listening to it now, I have a whole new respect, and I love it more, because Im really into jazz/fusion type stuff, and this is close enough. What a great cd.


Another quality Keaggy project
This CD is no different. Phil Keaggy has amazed thousands over the years with his outstanding ability to transport a person to another time, place and state of mind with his music. I love to hop in the car, pop in this CD, take a drive with the wife in the country and just enjoy life for awhile. Wow. Relax, renew your mind and spirit and become enchanted with his style and performance.


Phil Keaggy is a master
It was my introduction to the new age sound. I first heard this CD on vinyl when I was a teenager. I have not heard many other artists that can weave sounds together into a seamless fabric like Phil Keaggy.

By the way, Cheri Keaggy is not Phil's Daughter. She is married to his nephew.


Magnum Opus

I am not a guitarist, though I am a professional musician. I am not Christian.
I am not a'Keaggyhead'. . .

But this is, easily one of the best collections of compositions I have ever heard. In particular, and I need to single this one out, 'March of the Clouds' is as perfect a collection of sounds a human being can put together. As a song, it has everything. . . ethereal imagery, slow gradual volume and tone. Again, it is. . . . well it is my favorite song. I do not listen to New Age in particular - I am well rounded but - I heard this song about 10 years ago. . . and either a song touches you or it does not. . . . this one reached in me and pulled something out. . . something only this song can. Buy it. Experience it.


Keaggy at his best
As everyone knows, Keaggy is an incredible guitarist, but this album displays his gift for composition and arrangement as well. This is my favorite album by Phil Keaggy. The title cut is a masterpiece acoustic guitar composition. March of the Clouds takes the listener on an emotional musical journey through the skies and back to earth. While the album cover is reminiscent of the 80s Windham Hill look, the blending of acoustic and electric guitars with piano and synthsizers in this recording are uniquely Phil Keaggy's.
