  • Simple Truth (1989)

    Simple Truth is the eighth studio album by Scottish Christian singer - author Sheila Walsh , released in 1989 on Myrrh Records. Simple Truth is produced by Greg Nelson, who is best known for producing Christian inspirational artists like Sandi Patty , Larnelle Harris and Steve Green . This album, according to CCM Magazine , shows "a kinder, gentler Walsh." Changing her musical style so Walsh can accommodate her audience which are viewers from The 700 Club , Simple Truth is more adult contemporary and MOR (middle of the road), departing from her pop sounds of Shadowlands and Say So . Walsh covers the Neil Diamond track "This Time," which she dedicated to her first husband Norman Miller and Walsh co-wrote two songs "Come Into His Kingdom" and "Love Alone." Songwriting contributions include Bob Farrell, Chris Eaton and Michael and Stormie Omartian. Walsh also released a live concert video on VHS titled Simple Truth in Concert . Track listing 1.

  • Say So (1988)

    Say So is the seventh studio album by Scottish Christian singer - author Sheila Walsh , released in early 1988 on Myrrh Records. It is Walsh's second album on the Myrrh label following her 1986 album Shadowlands . Once again teaming with producers Richard Osborne and Jon Sweet, the album continues her British pop sound with some touches of adult contemporary. Walsh covers the hit "Love Is the Answer," written by Todd Rundgren and recorded by his band Utopia in 1977 and made famous by the soft rock duo England Dan and John Ford Coley (#1 Billboard AC, #10 Billboard Hot 100). Walsh performed the song on her very first appearance as co-host of The 700 Club in 1987. Christian recording artist and guitarist Phil Keaggy (whom Walsh opened for in 1983 on her first American tour) is a guest instrumentalist playing the electric guitar on the songs "Angels With Dirty Faces" and "Hope for the Hopeless." Walsh also tries her hand at songwriting on Say So co-writing six songs and writing solo and recording "Trapeze," a song she would revisit on future releases and has become a personal favorite.

  • Phil Keaggy

    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.

  • Phil Keaggy (1998)

    Phil Keaggy is the 20th self-titled solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/ guitarist Phil Keaggy . It was released on September 16, 1998 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Keaggy and Tom Laune. Phil Keaggy is Keaggy's first full vocal album since 1995's True Believer but without the slick production style. He wanted to recapture the live organic sound of his rock and roll albums, Phil Keaggy and Sunday's Child , Find Me in These Fields and Crimson and Blue . Although Keaggy has retained some of True Believer 's adult contemporary sound, there are some Beatle-esqe influences on some of the tracks. The lead single "Days Like You" received some considerable airplay and was his final Top 20 hit on Christian radio but was drowned by the influx of younger artists like Rebecca St. James , Point of Grace , DC Talk and Third Day. Geri Bobeck, Keaggy's sister, contributed her songwriting on two tracks: "My Unspoken Words" and "Tender Love." The tracks "Beneath the Blood-Stained Lintel" and "Quite Suddenly" were inspired by author Harry A. Ironside's book The Continual Burnt Offering . Keaggy also does a cover of the 1988 Sheila Walsh track "Jesus Loves the Church" to close the album. Phil Keaggy  debuted and peaked at number 32 on the Billboard  Top Christian Albums chart. Track listing All songs were written by Phil Keaggy, except where noted. 1. A Sign Came Through a Window -4:13 2. Beneath the Blood-Stained Lintel (words from The Continual Burnt Offering by Harry A. Ironside; music by Phil Keaggy) -3:27 3. Under the Grace -5:01 4.
