Keaggy & Stonehill Rock

"Other people can go into great detail about this CD, but briefly, if you like either of these two artists separately, you'll like them together. The music plays like a couple of best buds having a jam session. "Picture Postcard Perfect Day" is my overall favorite, with its quirky humor, but the whole CD is worth getting, and is great road trip music. There is a message worth hearing, humor and great guitar. Highly recommended."

Highly Satisfying

"I will echo a previous reviewer saying that if you like either of these artists you will really like this CD ... if you like both, even better! Strong from start to finish, there is much, much to like about this colaboration. Vocals, guitar, production, song-writing, message, passion, exhuberant fun, true friendship that shines through ... it is all here ... on my first listen, I had a smile on my face all the way through ... highly recommened to those who like Stonehill and/or Keaggy or for new comers who want to hear some very talented veterans deliver the goods! ...

"How can one listen to this CD and not smile? You just can't. It's fun and infectious and there's not a single song I'd leave out. I've been listening to it for about a month it's still in regular, repeated rotation on my commute, both coming and going. Simply put, this is a great disc.



The liner notes from Randy mentioned they hoped the "fun" they had found it's way onto this recording. The answer is a resounding "YES!"



I've been a fan of Randy's music for many years, and while I really do appreciate the spiritual depth & wisdom he can craft into many of his songs (while making it look easy), I just love when he gives vent to his wit, and sings about the humorous and fun side of things too: "When life comes at you like a raging bull, you must do more than shout, 'Ole!'" Love it love it love it.



And I can't sideline Phil's efforts on this disc, either. His stellar musicianship and memorable, McCartney-ish vocals are all over it, and he really makes it a joy to listen to. There have been a few days where I just could not get "We'll Meet Again" out of my head! Great stuff.



With music and songwriting this strong, I can only hope this Keaggy/Stonehill combination will return one day with a sequel (or two or... whatever). That's one hope that would help make the future irresistible enough to swan-dive right into!"
