Electric Blue, by Phil Keaggy

Electric Blue

by Phil Keaggy

supported by

David Barnes Vermillion Strands is a beautifully haunting song. The melody is strong with melancholy feeling and a lilting laid back rhythm. At first hearing the piece sounds simple but in reality there is much subtle variation here. The guitar phrasing is exquisite; acoustic guitar maintains the melody- creating a sense of space- while electric guitar and vocals interweave. The cumulative effect is one of yearning; the foretaste of heaven that CS Lewis identifies with encountering beauty on earth. Wonderful Favorite track: Vermillion Strands.

about

Contained in these four albums (Brushstrokes, Splash, Electric Blue & Still Life) are songs I created in the late 90s, recorded to ADAT machines, which was the first time I began recording digitally. Prior to these recordings, I was recording to analog 4- and 8-track tape machines.
Besides using acoustic, electric and classical guitars, I used a Langejans acoustic guitar that had midi capabilities and was able to use sampled sounds of keyboards, woodwinds, harp and horns and other interesting sounds. It was a very creative time for me, instrumentally.

I was encouraged by a number of friends to pursue this music. Thanks to Tom Gulotta for the new cover designs. Photo credits also to Sean Hagwell (brushstrokes, splash and still life) and Ian Keaggy (electric blue) .. Thanks very much!

Electric Blue: This collection is primarily electric guitar based. Again, thanks to Ken Lewis for Perc and drums on tracks: 1,2,4,5,6,7 and 10,
Jeff Lams keys on “The Tigris,” Gianna Jessen on “Vermillion Strands,” Jeffery Johnson on “The Road Home.”

I hope this collection will bring delight and inspiration to you..
Phil
