Phil Keaggy – The Uncle Duke Project (New 2x CD) Strobie Records 2005

Product Description

Originally released in 2005, The Uncle Duke Project is a fascinating and wonderfully creative double-CD collection from legendary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Phil Keaggy. This expanded edition revisits Keaggy's highly sought-after 2000 album Uncle Duke, a unique musical collaboration inspired by the poetry and writings of his uncle, Dave Keaggy. Blending rock, blues, folk, experimental sounds, humor, and Keaggy's extraordinary guitar work, the album offers a completely different side of one of Christian music's most accomplished musicians. From the inventive "Duct Tape Universe" and "Hut City" to "Connie's Song," "Digital Maze," and "Too Much Green," the project showcases Keaggy's remarkable versatility and adventurous musical imagination.

Released through Strobie Records, The Uncle Duke Project expands the original recording into a 19-track, two-CD collection featuring additional songs, alternate mixes, live recordings, and an interview with Uncle Duke himself. The second disc includes "My Uncle Duke," "Union Man," a live performance of "Duct Tape Universe," two versions of "Our Towers," and an extended version of "Too Much Green." Featuring Keaggy's exceptional musicianship across guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, and vocals, this distinctive release is a must-have for serious Phil Keaggy collectors and fans of creative, independent Christian rock.
