CUSTOMER REVIEW
The title of this review pretty much says it all. This was a phenomenal album that was released during a rough time at Love Inn. The discipleship/shepherding movement* was just beginning to fray and unravel and, as noted in the excellent liner notes included in this superbly done reissue, this album got caught in a lot of the ensuing conflict, political posturing of the time.
Despite all that, it stands the test of time and contains some of the finest work that Phil has ever done. The new material on this reissue is also worthy of note. I especially enjoyed "Mighty Lord" and agree with the liner notes that perhaps, and in hindsight, it was a mistake to leave it off the original. This was Phil Keaggy's first band after his short stint with Love Song (boy would I love to hear some of those board tapes - they must be something else!) and the synergy (yes, Glass Harp fans that's a nod to you all) of this razor tight, and gifted band is apparent on every track.
NOTE: "Gentle Eyes" (a wonderful song written for his wife) Has Never Been Released On CD, Including The Re-Emerging CD Reissue, Which Is Currently Out Of Print.
