Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 14, 2011) - Legendary Christian recording artist and world-renowned guitar maestro Phil Keaggy is set to release Live From Kegworth Studio through Strobie Records on October 18. The new CD features his most popular live arrangements, including "Salvation Army Band," "The True Believers" and "Here Comes the Sun."
The latest project from the Gospel Music Hall of Famer is in response to fan requests through the years following Keaggy's concerts.
"When I finish a show, people are always asking me if I have a CD with all the songs I played live at the concert. Regrettably, I didn't have one CD with many of the songs I played on a given night. So I took it upon myself to record live in my home studio many of the songs I do in concert," says Keaggy.
"With an audience of one," Keaggy says, "I played and sang my heart out and chose the best takes of each song presented in the collection."
In true Keaggy fashion, the new project features the musician's amazing vocals coupled with his brilliant guitar playing and looping magic, using no overdubs.
Live From Kegworth Studio includes elements of all the musical stylings for which Keaggy is famous. He cuts loose with a wailing rendition of the classic "Salvation Army Band," allows the mood and tempo to take center stage on the Keith Green-penned "Your Love Broke Through," pays homage to George Harrison with a spot-on rendition of the Beatles' hit "Here Comes the Sun," and settles into some intricate and reflective acoustic guitar strumming on the contemplative instrumental "Chalice."
Live From Kegworth Studio is available to pre-order through October 15 at philkeaggy.com. On October 18, the CD will be available to purchase at Keaggy's website, with digital downloads at iTunes and Amazon coming later in October.
