Pretty good
Phil keaggy is a gift guitarist and singer and songwriter. I picked this up used as it contains some songs hard to find on CD, most notably for me' Find Me In These fields' - It isn't the best compilation overall, but I know there are 2 parts to this, a volume 1 and 2. 'Beyond nature' is a good one he did and the OOP 'Find Me in These Fields' - also Sundays Child, good one.


Long time listener, first time reviewer - Recap
[. . ]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.
(Note - In 2005 some above mentioned albums are now on CD).


A Great Christian CD To Listen To
His music is so great to listen to, very simple yet uniquely one of a kind. Phil Keaggy is one of my most favorite Christian music artists. 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!!!.


Nice Walk Thru the Park of Time
Albeit, these are not some of the 'best' songs which you would find on a greatest hits album, as the review below indicated. This is a nice CD from Keaggy. However, the album is wonderful.

Many of Keaggy's classics are present (i. e. Sunday's Child, I will be There, Pilgrim's Flight, etc. ). The music has an ELO and Beatles type sound to it, and as usually, Keaggy demonstrates how wonderful a guitar player he actually is. Also, the CD includes several previously unreleased tunes, and live versions of other tunes.

Each song on the CD has it's own personality, and in my book this is a good thing, since too many musicians tend to get into a rut and begin to sound the same. Keaggy does not fall into this trap. This is a great CD for the long time Keaggy fan and the new fan alike. I highly recommend it.

p. s. the other time CD (part 2) is a good investment as well, check it out.


Good, but misses most of the real gems
I still enjoy listening to most of these tracks, but most of them are average Keaggy songs. As a Phil Keaggy fan who's heard about 1/2 to 2/3 of all the music he had recorded at the time of this album's release, I think it misses many of his best songs. That isn't a bad thing, because the average Keaggy song is quite good--I just don't think this deserves the "best of" label.
