Beautiful accoustic guitar work, taking well-known hymns and making them his own. Another exceptional album by Phil Keaggy!
CD Reviews
Phil at his best!

"Phil Keaggy's instrumental albums of the past five years or so get more play in my house than anything else I own. This album is no exception. It takes itself more seriously than either 'Zion' or 'Lights of Madrid,' and seems to rest in between those two in it's theme. The composition, musicianship, and recording quality in 'Hymnsongs' is amazing. The album doesn't revisit any old territory either. Every track is unexpected and beautiful.There's a version of 'Nothing But the Blood' on this album that you just have to hear! It's completely different and soooooo much better than the version on 'Crimson and Blue.'If you find pop music boring, you should love this album as well as Keaggy's other more recent albums. He puts most 'jam bands' (Phish, etc.) to shame with his level of creativity."
Classic Keaggy

"Phil at his best. One his greatest instrumentals if not his best to date. It's been in my car CD player for the past month and I'm still listening to every note and lick on those tracks."
