Phil Keaggy

Phil Keaggy was mentioned here some time ago. Well, I borrowed his album "221" from my brother and have listened to it twice.

The topic was Clapton saying something about Keaggy being the greatest living guitarist. Well, it's apparent from the album that Keaggy is quite a talented guitarist - but greatest? I don't hear it. This was my first time actually hearing Keaggy, so I'm curious if there are other opinions out there.

Now I have to say, Keaggy may indeed be better than Clapton. But that doesn't make him the greatest guitartist - it doesn't even guarantee him a spot in the top 25, IMO. Clapton is good, but perhaps the most overrated guitarist in history.

Oh, and I'm probably going to add most if not all of the album to AM - it's pretty enjoyable. Covers a wide base stylistically.
