Philip Tyler Keaggy (born March 23, 1951 in Youngstown, Ohio) is an American acoustic and electric guitarist and vocalist who has released more than 55 albums and contributed to many more recordings in both the contemporary Christian music and mainstream markets. He is a seven-time recipient of the GMA Dove Award for Instrumental Album of the Year, and was twice nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album. He has frequently been listed as one of the world's top-two "finger-style" and "finger-picking" guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine readers' polls, and due to his complex and virtuosic playing, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He played in several bands in Ohio in the mid-1960s and eventually formed the band Glass Harp with friend John Sferra in 1968. He became a Christian shortly after his mother's death around Valentine's Day of 1970 and his newfound faith infused all three of the Glass Harp recordings on Decca Records. He left the group in August of 1972 to embark on a solo career (although he has since reunited with Glass Harp for several concerts and recording projects). He recorded his first solo album What A Day in 1973, but it wasn't released until June of 1974 . During that period, he married his wife Bernadette and toured with Love Song. His next solo album, Love Broke Thru , didn't arrive until two years later in 1976. During that time, he toured and recorded with other Jesus Music pioneers such as 2nd Chapter of Acts , Honeytree and Paul Clark & Friends. Over the coming decades, Keaggy would continue to record and tour, as well as contributing his unmistakable guitar work to hundreds of recordings. Keaggy also first started collaborating with fellow CCM singer - songwriter and long-time friend Randy Stonehill in the mid-1970s , often appearing in each other's albums either as singing vocal duets, songwriting or both and have performed in the studio and in live concert performances.

Getting Closer! is the eighth solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy . It was originally released around November 1985 on Nissi Records with distribution by Lexicon Distribution. Keaggy co-produced the album with Smitty Price. Considered by critics as Keaggy's best album, Getting Closer! features some great pop/rock tunes like the title song, the instrumental track "Riverton," "Sounds" and the original recording of "I Will Be There." Keaggy revisits the track as a modern rock ballad for his 1993 album Crimson and Blue . The album was reissued in 1998 on CD by Canis Major with a different album cover and track listing order. It also contains two bonus tracks that he recorded around the same time as the rest of the album but were both left off. Strobie Records reissued the album in 2022 with the original ten songs and no bonus tracks. Getting Closer! peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart by spring 1986.

Way Back Home is the ninth solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy . It was released in 1986 on Pan Pacific Records. Keaggy produced and arranged the album himself. Way Back Home is a collection of quiet songs as a tribute to family, parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren with Keaggy playing classical, bass and acoustic guitars, in addition to vocals, along with other studio musicians and string ensemble arrangements by Tom Howard. Since it was a low-key release, this album did not chart the first time around. On June 4, 1994, Keaggy re-released Way Back Home on Sparrow Records with a different track listing order. The album is partially re-recorded and remixed with some differences with the songs and instrumentation from the 1986 release: *- the instrumental track "The Reunion" is not on this re-issue but does appear in a nearly identical recording in his 1987 instrumental release The Wind and the Wheat . *- "Here and Now": the string sounds from the original 1986 version were removed for the 1994 version, and the 1994 version is faded slightly early. *- "A New Star": the 1994 version includes new keyboard sounds and replaces the original soprano sax part with a penny whistle part. *- "Maker of the Universe": string sounds from the original version were removed for the 1994 version. *- "Let Everything Else Go": it's a new recording, originally from the 1981 Town to Town album. For this 1994 version, it fades out about a minute earlier than the original 1986 re-recording. *- Noah's Song": the string sounds from the original version were removed for the 1994 version. *- "In Every Need": the 1994 version has a brief section with no guitar, only bass. Keaggy recorded four new songs as bonus tracks continuing the family theme of the album, including the duet "Father-Daughter Harmony" featuring his daughter Alicia. The re-issued album debuted and peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. Track listing of the 1994 reissue All songs were written by Phil Keaggy, except where noted. 1.

Underground: Private Collection is the first in a series of "demo albums" by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy . It was released around November 1983 by the independent label Nissi Records and was first distributed by Sparrow Records until 1984 and then by Lexicon Distribution. Keaggy produced, wrote and arranged the album himself. Keaggy wrote in the album liner notes about this release: "Contained in this jacket is a collection of songs that were written between autumn and spring 1982-83. The original list contained more than enough selections for what was intended to be a double album and with a little help from my friends, we whittled the tunes down to accommodate this single LP. I recorded the entire collection in the basement of my home in Leawood, Kansas using a Teac 144 Porta-Studio, various guitars, synthesizers and a Roland rhythm machine. We then took the 4-track cassette tapes and transferred to a multi-track machine at Weddington Studio in North Hollywood, California, adding only the reinforcement of a Roger Linn drum machine to fatten the tracks. The uniqueness of this album lies in the fact that all the tunes were recorded at my leisure, in a comfortable setting, without realizing they would be used for an official record release. Because of this factor, I feel there is a freedom and confidence expressed in these songs which sets them apart from some of my other recordings. I sincerely hope you enjoy them as much as I did writing and recording them. My initial listeners were those of family and friends — and now we gladly extend them to you." Underground is the start of a series of "private collection" music libraries called "Backroom Trax" and this is the first volume. Other "Backroom Trax" volumes were released sporadically into the next decade by way of Keaggy's fan-mail club PKC (Phil Keaggy Club). This release contains two bonus tracks that were, at first, only on cassette tape and then later on CD by Canis Major in 2000 but with a different track order. The album was reissued in 2022 by Strobie Records with the original track order plus bonus track totaling 13 tracks. Underground charted on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart in 1984 and peaked at number 11. Track listing of the 1983 release with bonus tracks All songs were written by Phil Keaggy. 1. What a Love -3:52 2. The Ransom (instrumental) -3:49 3. Deadline -3:36 4. Think About It -3:45 5. One in a Million -4:31 6. I Know Someone -3:46 7. The Two of You -4:59 8.

Jaci Velasquez is the self-titled second studio album by Christian/Latina pop singer Jaci Velasquez , released on June 2, 1998 by Myrrh/Word Record. Mark Heimermann produced the album, with Christopher Harris co-producing the track "Al Mundo Dios Amó," which is translated as the lead single "God So Loved."

Jaci would later release a Christmas CD single entitled "One Silent Night...God So Loved." It was a limited CD single sold with the purchase of Jaci Velasquez during the holiday season. The second album continues the success of Jaci's debut album Heavenly Place with four number one songs on the Christian radio charts.

Christopher Neville Eaton (born September 16, 1958) is a British Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter, who has written songs for singers including Cliff Richard , Amy Grant , Jaci Velasquez and Sheila Walsh . Eaton grew up in the West Midlands of England, influenced by music ranging from Deep Purple to Cliff Richard, a diversity that would serve him well during his career as a singer, songwriter, and producer. He was a member of the band Lyrix in the 1980s, but left, eventually issuing a solo record, Vision , in 1986. Following its release, Eaton shifted his focus to less prominent, yet intrinsic roles in the music industry. As a songwriter, his songs have been performed and recorded by a myriad of Christian artists, including Susan Ashton and Margaret Becker , as well as numerous notable artists in other genres such as Sheena Easton, Vince Gill and Boney James. Eaton also provided backing vocals on a number of records, including releases by Michael English, Twila Paris and Michael W. Smith . In 1995, his Wonderful World album found favor with the fans in the Christian market, buoyed by the track "Everlasting Love." Since then, Eaton has issued a third solo release, 1998's What Kind Of Love (Crusin' in the U.K.), which included the title track co-written with Grant.

Live is a live album by Christian singer - songwriter Dallas Holm . It was released in early 1977 on Greentree/Benson Records. The live project was originally titled Hey, I'm a Believer and it is the first album to feature his backing band known as Praise. On this album, Praise consisted of Tim Johnson (keyboards), Johnson's wife LaDonna (vocals), Randy Adams (bass guitar) and Holm on acoustic guitar and vocals. It was in this live album that he introduced what has become a signature song, "Rise Again." The song, about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, was an instant hit on the Christian radio charts and has been covered by many artists including Holm himself nearly a decade later in his 1988 album Beyond the Curtain . It was tied as the longest charting song on the Christian music chart along with another Easter-themed song "He's Alive" by Don Francisco from 1978 and throughout 1979 over 100 weeks. The live album was produced by Tim Johnson's brother Phil Johnson and was recorded in Lindale, Texas. It made its first appearance on Billboard 's inaugural Top Inspirational Albums (later renamed Top Christian Albums) chart in March 1980 and debuted at number 9, along with their 1979 release All That Matters . Live peaked at number 7 in July 1980 and was a best seller. In the spring of 1984, Live was the group's only Gold certified album selling more than half a million copies by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). When Live was first released, it was released as Hey, I'm a Believer when it was sold on LP, cassette and 8-track tapes. It was reissued in 1983 as Live...Rise Again with a different album cover design. Then in 1993, it was reissued on CD with the original album cover and was digitally remastered. It also featured "He Knew Me When" as an additional track, whereas the song could not be added on the original 1977 vinyl due to time constraints. In 2006, CCM Magazine named "Rise Again" as one of the 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music and listed it at number 52. In 1978, Holm won Male Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Mixed Group of the Year with Praise and the top prize for Song of the Year for "Rise Again" at the 10th GMA Dove Awards.
