The Story
Time to plug it in and turn it up with this energized instrumental offering from legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy, entitled "220". Featuring 10 rock and blues based numbers, Keaggy's playing is graceful and fluid throughout, enliving the material with the true grace of a 30-year recording professional. From the bluesy opener "Animal" through the extended rock out of "The Great Escape" to the closing jam "Watt Ever", Keaggy displays incredible musicianship and a keen melodic sense. Keaggy fans already know that "220" is a must have, while listeners new to the man that like the guitar styles of Dave Beegle of Fourth Estate and Ronnie Montrose should make a point to get to know this music.
