(More customer reviews)Originally released in 1978, The Master and the Musician was the first of Phil Keaggy's astonishing instrumental efforts. It would be enough that it was remarkable for its time, but it is remarkable for any time, and the freshness of the compositions endures some 20 years later.
From the medieval echoes of Pilgrim's Flight and Castle's Call, to the untamed energy of Agora and Follow Me Up -- a signature work of Keaggy brilliance -- this collection covers a broad spectrum of guitar: classical, steel-string acoustic, and soaring electric, woven together into a marvelous fabric of sound. And while the album supports a common theme, every song is an individual. Every thread is a delight.
For the technically minded, this was the first work in which Phil's distinctive guitar techniques were lavished on the listener in abundance: the volume swells, e-bow voicings, tap harmonics, and very generous solo moments.
Whether you are a lover of guitar music, or a follower of Phil's exceptional career, this album deserves an honored place in your collection. It is timeless, peerless, and priceless, and a humble but fitting tribute from the musician to the Master.
