[edit]Phil Keaggy discography
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Phil Keaggy's discography encompasses over 60 solo albums, eight releases with his band Glass Harp, and numerous collaborative projects, spanning more than five decades of work in Christian rock, instrumental, acoustic, and experimental music genres.[1][2]
Keaggy's recording career began in 1970 with Glass Harp's self-titled debut album, a pioneering effort in Christian rock that established his reputation as a virtuoso guitarist.[1] His solo output commenced in 1973 with What a Day, marking the start of a prolific run that blended vocal-driven faith-based songs with intricate instrumental compositions.[2] Key early releases include Love Broke Thru (1976) and the instrumental landmark The Master and the Musician (1978), which showcased his fusion of rock, jazz, and classical influences.[2]
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Keaggy maintained a steady release schedule with albums like Crimson and Blue (1993) and Find Me in These Fields (1991), earning Dove Awards for The Wind and the Wheat (1987) and Beyond Nature (1992), among others.[1][2] Later works, such as the acoustic series Acoustic Sketches (1996), All at Once (2016), Strings & Sonnets (2024) with Malcolm Guite, and Deep Water (2025) with Cosmic Cathedral, highlight his evolution toward more contemplative and fingerstyle guitar-focused recordings, while collaborations like Mystery Highway (2009) with Randy Stonehill and others expanded his catalog into folk and Americana territories.[2][3][4] Overall, his discography reflects a commitment to innovative guitar artistry within contemporary Christian music, with much of his catalog available through digital platforms and his official webshop.[2]
[2][16][17][18][19]
These selections represent Keaggy's emphasis on guitar-driven covers.[67]
Early career bands
With The Squires
Phil Keaggy joined The Squires, a garage rock band from Youngstown, Ohio, in the mid-1960s as a teenage lead guitarist.[5] The group formed around 1964 and included members Al Frano on guitar, Jim Love on drums, and Bob Flamisch on bass, with Keaggy contributing guitar and occasional vocals.[6] Active during the height of the British Invasion's influence on American youth culture, The Squires drew from that sound in their raw, energetic performances typical of the era's garage bands.[5] The band's earliest recordings were informal demos captured in 1965, marking Keaggy's first foray into studio work. One unofficial tape, recorded at Ducy Music, featured tracks like "Just A-Walkin'", "Love Bug", and the instrumental "Rendezvous"; these circulated privately among friends and had limited distribution.[6] A more polished official demo followed later that year at United Audio studios, including songs such as "Time’s Up", "As A Boy", "Just To Be Near You", and "A Star In The Sky"—the latter containing a reversed guitar lick that later inspired elements in Keaggy's work with Glass Harp.[6] In 1966, The Squires achieved their sole commercial release with the 7-inch single "Batmobile" b/w "I Don't Care" on Penguin Records (catalog nos. 16161/16162).[7] Keaggy co-wrote "Batmobile" with a friend, and the tracks received some local radio airplay, showcasing the band's proto-psychedelic garage style.[6] The group disbanded later that year amid lineup changes and Keaggy's transition to other local acts, including a brief stint with The Volume Four.[5] These formative recordings highlighted Keaggy's emerging guitar talent, laying groundwork for his innovative playing in subsequent Christian rock endeavors.[6]With The New Hudson Exit
The New Hudson Exit was a garage rock band based in Austintown, Ohio, that formed in 1967 as an evolution of the earlier high school group Volume Four. Phil Keaggy joined on guitar and shared vocals after the breakup of his prior band, The Squires, bringing a Beatles-inspired influence to the lineup, which also featured Tom Huzjak on guitar and vocals, Mitch Benhke on bass, and Bob Barbone on drums. This phase came several years after Keaggy's 1962 accident, in which he lost his right index finger at age 11, prompting him to adapt his playing technique using three fingers on his fretting hand.[6] The band's sole release during Keaggy's tenure was the 1967 single "Come With Me" b/w "Waiting For Her" on Date Records (catalog 2-1576), capturing their energetic, teen-oriented garage rock sound with verve and drive suited to the era's British Invasion echoes. "Come With Me," a Keaggy original, invited listeners with its upbeat invitation, while the B-side reflected similar pop-rock sensibilities. After Keaggy's departure in February 1968 amid personal restlessness, vocal strain, and anxiety, the band continued briefly, issuing another single, "Too Many People" b/w an unspecified track, on Peace Records later that year before disbanding around 1969 due to shifting commitments among members.[8][6] Additional unreleased material included demos recorded at Cleveland Recording Company for Date Records and a full acetate LP of originals alongside covers like a distinctive rendition of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," though no commercial deal materialized from New York sessions. The New Hudson Exit's short existence highlighted Keaggy's early professional steps in secular rock, serving as a bridge from garage band origins toward his later pursuits in more thematic and faith-oriented music.[9][6]With Glass Harp
Glass Harp was formed in 1969 in Youngstown, Ohio, by guitarist and vocalist Phil Keaggy, drummer John Sferra, and bassist Daniel Pecchio, marking one of the earliest ensembles in the emerging Christian rock genre.[10] The trio's sound blended progressive rock elements, extended improvisations, and faith-inspired lyrics, drawing comparisons to acts like Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience while pioneering a spiritual dimension in rock music.[11] Their original run from 1969 to 1972 established a foundation for prog-infused Christian music, influencing subsequent bands in the genre through Keaggy's innovative guitar work and the group's dynamic live performances.[12] The band's debut album, Glass Harp (Decca, 1970), introduced their signature style with tracks like "Can You See Me" and "Children's Fantasy," highlighting Keaggy's soaring leads and the group's harmonious interplay.[12][13] This was followed by Synergy (Decca, 1971), which emphasized extended jams including "The Answer" and "Mountains," capturing their exploratory live energy in a studio setting.[12] The final original studio release, It Makes Me Glad (Decca, 1972), featured songs such as "Do Lord" and "Let's Live Together," blending upbeat rockers with reflective pieces before the band's initial breakup.[12] In 1977, a compilation Song in the Air (Star Song, 1977) was issued, drawing from earlier material with a holiday emphasis on the title track alongside selections like "One Day at a Time" and "David & Goliath."[12][14] Following a period of inactivity, Glass Harp reunited in the 1990s, culminating in the live album Live at Carnegie Hall (Special Friends Productions, 1997), recorded during a high-profile reunion concert and including renditions of classics like "Look in the Sky" and "Changes."[12][15] The momentum continued with Strings Attached (self-released, 2001), a double-disc acoustic set reinterpreting hits such as "Do Lord" and "Can You See Me" in an intimate format.[12] Hour Glass (self-released, 2003) marked their first full studio reunion in decades, with original compositions like "What's in Your Heart" and "Everlasting Light" showcasing matured songwriting.[12] Stark Raving Jams (self-released, 2004), a triple-disc live instrumental collection, captured extended improvisations including "California Jam '72" and "Children's Fantasy," emphasizing the band's jamming prowess.[12] A later reunion yielded Glass Harp Live at Beachland Ballroom (self-released, 2010), featuring energetic performances of staples like "Never Is a Long Time" and "John the Revelator."[12] These reunions in the 1990s and 2000s revitalized Glass Harp's legacy, solidifying their role as trailblazers in progressive Christian rock and inspiring ongoing appreciation for their fusion of technical skill and thematic depth.[10]Solo releases
Studio albums
Phil Keaggy's solo studio albums chronicle a career marked by innovation within contemporary Christian music and instrumental guitar traditions, commencing with his 1973 debut and encompassing over 35 releases through 2025. These works blend vocal-driven faith explorations with intricate, often ambient guitar compositions, evolving from 1970s pop-rock roots to later experimental, acoustic, and fusion styles that emphasize spiritual themes and technical mastery. Keaggy's output reflects his transition from major labels to independent production, allowing greater creative freedom in later decades.[2] His initial solo efforts laid the foundation for a distinctive sound influenced by his Glass Harp background. What a Day (1973, New Song Productions) served as his debut, featuring Christian pop-rock tracks like the title song and "Rejoice," which captured an optimistic, melody-rich ethos.[16] Followed by Love Broke Thru (1976, New Song Productions), this album included the titular hit co-written with Randy Stonehill, highlighting collaborative songwriting and accessible radio appeal within the emerging Christian music scene.[16] The ambitious double album The Master and the Musician (1978, New Song Productions) introduced a conceptual suite mixing instrumentals and vocals, such as "Pilgrim's Flight," to explore narrative depth through guitar orchestration.[2] The 1980s albums shifted toward polished production and genre experimentation under major labels. Ph'lip Side (1980, Myrrh Records) infused funky rock elements, exemplified by the worship staple "As the Deer."[17] Town to Town (1981, Myrrh Records) delivered radio-friendly anthems like "Life Comes a-Runnin'," broadening Keaggy's audience.[16] Subsequent releases, including the worship-oriented Play Thru Me (1982, Myrrh Records) and the boundary-pushing Underground (1983, Myrrh Records), demonstrated versatility, while Getting Closer (1985, Myrrh Records) embraced pop sensibilities and Way Back Home (1986, Myrrh Records) incorporated acoustic introspection. The purely instrumental The Wind and the Wheat (1987, Myrrh Records) showcased ambient textures.[2] Into the late 1980s and 1990s, Keaggy balanced vocal and instrumental projects amid label changes. Sunday's Child (1988, Myrrh Records) featured renewed ties with Randy Stonehill on tracks like "Tell Me How You Feel."[16] The acoustic Find Me in These Fields (1991, Reunion Records) and instrumental Beyond Nature (1992, Sparrow Records) highlighted natural themes, preceding the energetic rock of Crimson and Blue (1993, Sparrow Records), its companion Blue (1993, Sparrow Records), and Revelator (1993, Sparrow Records). True Believer (1995, Reunion Records) reinterpreted covers with fresh arrangements.[17] Self-releases dominated from the mid-1990s, emphasizing guitar-centric innovation. Albums like Acoustic Sketches (1996, self-released), 220 (1996, self-released) with its rapid-fire techniques, and On the Fly (1997, self-released) captured spontaneous jams. Seasonal offerings included the vocal A Christmas Gift (1998, Word Records) and instrumental Majesty and Wonder (1999, Word Records). The expansive Inseparable (2000, Sparrow Records) and instrumental Zion (2000, Gotek Records) coexisted with cover collections Uncle Duke (2001, Word Records) and its sequel The Uncle Duke Project (2005, self-released). Cinematic Cinemascapes (2001, Word Records), hymnal Hymnsongs (2002, Word Records), acoustic sketches Freehand (2003, self-released), and personal It's Personal (2004, self-released) underscored thematic depth, alongside instrumentals like Roundabout (2006, self-released), Acoustic Cafe (2007, self-released), The Song Within (2007, self-released), and the sequel-like Phantasmagorical (2008, self-released). The familial Welcome Inn (2009, Gazillion Records) and interpretive The Cover of Love (2012, self-released) preceded the rock-infused All at Once (2016, self-released) and further instrumental collections like Acoustic Sketches 3 (2021, self-released).[2]| Year | Album | Label | Key Highlights |

Live albums
Phil Keaggy's live albums capture his renowned improvisational guitar prowess in real-time performances, often featuring extended solos and audience engagement that highlight his technical virtuosity and emotional depth. These recordings span from early career highlights to more intimate settings, emphasizing acoustic and electric explorations of his catalog. With three live albums under his solo banner, they showcase Keaggy's ability to blend structured songs with spontaneous jams.[20][21] The 1991 release Live! on Reunion Records marks an early live set, drawing from Keaggy's evolving solo sound with energetic renditions of fan favorites that underscore his transition from band work to individual expression. This album features raw, unpolished performances emphasizing guitar-driven dynamics and audience interaction during a pivotal period in his career.[22] Jammed! (2006, self-released) serves as a studio-live hybrid of jams, where Keaggy's guitar leads spontaneous sessions like "Kegworth Speaks" and "Blueberry Jam," mimicking concert energy through layered improvisations that evoke live audience interaction.[23] Finally, Live From Kegworth Studio (2011, self-released) offers an intimate studio live experience, with Keaggy performing unaccompanied acoustic sets including "Salvation Army Band" and "Chalice," allowing his improvisational solos to unfold in a personal, resonant space that connects directly with listeners.[24][25]Compilation albums
Phil Keaggy has released several compilation albums throughout his solo career, primarily curating selections from his earlier studio recordings to highlight key periods, themes, or instrumental works. These collections serve as retrospectives, often remastering or recontextualizing tracks without introducing substantial new material, allowing fans to access highlights in thematic groupings.[2][17] One of the earliest such efforts is the two-volume Time series, released in 1995 by Sparrow Records. Time, Vol. 1 covers material from 1974 to 1991, compiling early hits and fan favorites like "I've Just Begun (Again)" and "Love Divine," drawn from albums such as What a Day and The Master and the Musician.[26][2] Time, Vol. 2, released concurrently, focuses on mid-career tracks from 1992 to 1995, including selections from Crimson and Blue and live performances, emphasizing Keaggy's evolving vocal and guitar style during this transitional phase.[27][2] In 1999, Keaggy self-released Premium Jams on Canis Major Records, a double-disc instrumental collection featuring 19 previously unreleased studio tracks such as "Log Jam" and "Traffic Jam." This set curates extended guitar improvisations and jams, showcasing his technical prowess in a purely musical format without vocals or lyrics.[28][29] The year 2001 saw the release of What Matters (also titled Songs About What Matters), a self-released nine-track overview on IBS Publishing, drawing primarily from the 1989 self-titled album and 1993's Crimson and Blue. It includes one new track, "What Matters," but otherwise compiles reflective songs like "Shouts of Joy" to encapsulate personal and spiritual themes from his career.[30][31] History Makers, issued in 2003 by ICC Records (in association with Sparrow), is a remastered compilation of Christian-oriented hits spanning Keaggy's catalog, with 16 tracks including "The Reunion" and "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." This collection highlights his impact in contemporary Christian music, selecting songs that underscore faith-based narratives.[32][2] Also in 2003, Special Occasions was self-released as a 22-track set of rarities and outtakes, featuring acoustic renditions and lesser-known pieces like "I'll Be Loving You" and "Jennifer," sourced from various sessions across decades. It provides a deeper dive into archival material, appealing to dedicated listeners.[33][34] Anniversary editions represent another facet of Keaggy's compilations, expanding on landmark albums. The 2007 The Master & the Musician: 30th Anniversary Edition, self-released on Strobie Music, augments the original 1978 release with bonus tracks, alternate mixes, and liner notes, including previously unavailable instrumentals to commemorate its enduring influence.[35][36] Similarly, the 2014 What a Day: 40th Anniversary Edition, self-released, remasters the 1974 debut with additional bonuses like demos and live cuts, preserving its folk-rock essence while updating audio quality. In 2025, Love Broke Thru (2025 remaster) was self-released, offering an updated edition of the 1976 album with improved sound.[2][36][37]| Title | Year | Label | Key Focus |

Collaborative and group releases
Phil Keaggy Band
The Phil Keaggy Band emerged in the mid-1970s as a collaborative ensemble led by guitarist and vocalist Phil Keaggy, marking a transitional phase in his career following his work with Glass Harp. The band's sole original album, Emerging, was released in 1978 on NewSong Records (NS004), featuring a lineup of Keaggy on guitar and lead vocals, Lynn Nichols on guitars, Phil Madeira on keyboards, Dan Cunningham on bass, and Terry Andersen on drums.[38] Recorded at Hedden West Studios in August 1977, the album blended progressive rock elements with Christian lyrical themes, including representative tracks like "Where Is My Maker?" (a reflective ballad on faith) and "Ryan's Song" (an instrumental tribute dedicated to Keaggy's son).[39] Other notable songs such as "Struck By The Love" and "Take A Look Around" highlighted the band's dynamic interplay, with contributions from guest musicians like Karl Fruh on cello and Ray Papai on saxophone.[40] In April 2000, the band reconvened for Re-Emerging, a remastered CD reissue of Emerging on Canis Major Records, omitting the original track "Gentle Eyes" but adding four new bonus recordings from February 2000 to refresh the material with a contemporary edge.[40] The expanded tracklist incorporated originals like "Theme" and "Turned On The Light" alongside fresh compositions such as "My Auburn Lady" (written by Keaggy), "Mighty Lord" (by Madeira), "You're My Hero" (by Keaggy and Andersen), and a cover of "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight."[39] This reunion effort, involving core members including Keaggy, Madeira, and Andersen, bridged the gap between the band's 1970s roots and Keaggy's evolving solo style, emphasizing themes of redemption and spiritual growth central to Christian rock.[41] Extending the band's legacy into the 2010s, the Phil Keaggy Trio—a stripped-down configuration—released Inter-Dimensional Traveler in October 2010 on Strobie Records, featuring Keaggy on guitars, Jack Giering on bass, and John Sferra (Keaggy's longtime Glass Harp collaborator) on drums.[42] The all-instrumental album explored jazz-fusion and progressive influences across 12 tracks, including the title opener "Inter-Dimensional Traveler," "New Day," and "Thin Ice," delivering an updated, exploratory sound that echoed the original band's innovative spirit while aligning with Keaggy's instrumental prowess in his solo work.[39] Collectively, these projects underscored the Phil Keaggy Band's role in fostering family-oriented Christian rock, connecting Keaggy's early group dynamics to his broader discographic contributions.[2]Other collaborations
Phil Keaggy has participated in a variety of duo, trio, and multi-artist collaborations outside his band and solo endeavors, often exploring diverse genres through partnerships with fellow musicians. These projects, spanning from the early 1990s to 2025, highlight his adaptability across pop-rock, instrumental, ambient, jazz, and progressive styles.[2] In 1992, Keaggy contributed background vocals to Russ Taff's rendition of "Your Love Broke Through" on the multi-artist tribute album No Compromise: Remembering the Music of Keith Green, a compilation honoring the late Christian musician with various artists covering Green's songs.[43] The 1997 album Invention, co-billed with Wes King and Scott Dente on Sparrow Records, features pop-rock tracks blending blues, progressive, and acoustic elements, with Keaggy contributing guitar and co-writing several songs like "Watch My Back" and "Isle of Skye."[44] On the 1998 multi-artist project The Jesus Record (Sparrow Records), a posthumous completion of Rich Mullins' work, Keaggy provided lead vocals for "All the Way to Kingdom Come" and guitar throughout, joining artists like Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant in a folk-rock tribute to Jesus' life.[45] Keaggy teamed up with guitarist Mike Pachelli for the 2006 instrumental album Two of Us (Solid Air Records), a collection of live improvised guitar duets emphasizing acoustic and electric interplay across 13 tracks.[46] The 2009 release Mystery Highway, a self-released collaboration with Randy Stonehill on Oddbody Music, delivers road-themed pop-rock songs such as "Who's Your Driver" and "Backwards on Her Bike," infused with humor and storytelling.[47] Also in 2009, Keaggy and keyboardist Jeff Johnson issued the instrumental album Frio Suite on Ark Records, inspired by the Frio River and featuring ambient, new age compositions like "Of Time & The Frio" and "Like Walking on Water."[48] In 2011, Keaggy partnered with percussionist Kyle Jones for the ambient album Numen (Strobie Records), incorporating non-Western instruments in tracks such as "Ebullience" and "Saffron Chai" to create ethereal soundscapes.[49] The 2012 symphonic instrumental Watersky (Ark Records), another outing with Jeff Johnson, evokes reflective moods through pieces like "When We Were Young" and "WaterSky," blending piano, guitar, and orchestral elements.[50] That same year, Keaggy joined the Jack Giering Trio (with Giering on keyboards and John Sferra on drums) for the self-released jazz album Cosmic Rumpus, a follow-up to their prior work, featuring improvisational tracks including "In Your Arms" and "Topsey Treme, Pt. 1."[2] In 2014, Keaggy collaborated with the John Sferra Trio (Sferra on drums, Giering on keyboards) for the progressive rock album Infinity Unleashed, self-released and comprising energetic instrumentals like "Cognitive Hammer" and "Flower of Life."[51] In 2019, Keaggy released the all-instrumental The Bucket List in collaboration with bassist Tony Levin and drummer Jerry Marotta, featuring 12 original tracks such as "Sometimes We Up" and "Midland Crisis" that showcase improvisational rock and jazz elements.[52] Keaggy reunited with Jeff Johnson for the 2021 instrumental album Ravenna on Ark Records, presenting contemplative ambient and new age pieces evoking serene landscapes.[53] In April 2025, Keaggy contributed guitar to the progressive rock album Deep Water by the supergroup Cosmic Cathedral, alongside Neal Morse on keyboards and vocals, Chester Thompson on drums, and Byron House on bass, with tracks like "Deep Water Suite: Launch Out, Pt. 1."[54] Also in 2025, Keaggy collaborated with Michael Lewis on the instrumental single "No Eye Has Seen." These more than ten projects underscore Keaggy's genre-spanning versatility in collaborative settings.[2]Additional contributions
