Acoustic Sketches 3 – Phil Keaggy
****
I’ve long appreciated the music, both instrumental and vocal, of Phil Keaggy. His album Acoustic Sketches was released in 1996, and Freehand: Acoustic Sketches 2 was released in 2003. I would often enjoy these CDs quietly in my office at work, and continue to enjoy them when sitting at our desk at home.
Keaggy began working on what would become Acoustic Sketches 3 in February of this year. He wrote all 23 of the songs, as well as producing the album.
This acoustic instrumental album features Keaggy playing a number of different instruments. For example, on the album cover (from left to right) are the following instruments: Skinner Sunburst Acoustic (L’il Hoss), Brunner Compact Guitar, Oceana Ukulele, Brunner Pocket Guitar, Olson SJ Acoustic Guitar and Langejans Classical Guitar. As the title Sketches implies, at times these are rather short songs, with 5 of them clocking in at less than 2 minutes.
If you enjoy instrumental guitar music, you will enjoy the beautiful music of Acoustic Sketches 3 from Phil Keaggy.
