Customer Reviews Awesome guitar work! One his greatest instrumentals if not his best to date. Phil at his best. It's been in my car CD player for the past month and I'm still listening to every note and lick on those tracks. Phil at his best! This album is no exception. Phil Keaggy's instrumental albums of the past five years or so get more play in my house than anything else I own. It takes itself more seriously than either 'Zion' or 'Lights of Madrid,' and seems to rest in between those two in it's theme. The composition, musicianship, and recording quality in 'Hymnsongs' is amazing. The album doesn't revisit any old territory either. Every track is unexpected and beautiful. There's a version of 'Nothing But the Blood' on this album that you just have to hear! It's completely different and soooooo much better than the version on 'Crimson and Blue. ' If you find pop music boring, you should love this album as well as Keaggy's other more recent albums. He puts most 'jam bands' (Phish, etc. ) to shame with his level of creativity. Classic Keaggy If you like any of Phil Keaggy's instrumental albums, then get this cd!. . You can see a complete list of all Phil Keaggy discography, or go back to the Phil Keaggy tabs
