Description
Freehand: Acoustic Sketches II is an instrumental album by by the American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Phil Keaggy, independently released on Boondoggie Records in 2003. The album was recorded and mixed at Kegworth Studio in Nashville, Tennessee; with Phil Keaggy producing.
Freehand is an instrumental collection of tunes performed on acoustic guitar. For quite a while now, I have been waiting for Phil to release an album that equals what we have come to expect from this truly talented artist as far as the instrumental passages of his concerts are concerned. With Freehand we have been given that album at last, and it has been well worth the wait. Now that Phil is living in the land of independent artists, he is free to do what he does best, make phenomenal music without some suit saying “We need a hit” or “Is that religious enough for our target audience”. As I listen to these tunes I can almost see the smile on his face as he cuts loose on this collection of twenty three songs which are the best he has done since On the Fly. If the songs were not enough there is also a video on the disc of Phil performing one of the songs, «Cajon Pass» live in the studio. Now let me be really greedy and say that all we need now is a dvd of this album or perhaps of an all instrumental concert with Phil and Ric Hordinski joining forces.
