      <body>July 12, 2003&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the long-awaited rocker Phil's Glass Harp fans have been waiting for!  There isn't a bad song on this disc.  Anyone who likes good rock and roll will sing the praises of &quot;Shouts of Joy&quot;, &quot;Stone Eyes&quot;, the almost sarcastic and in-your-face &quot;Doin' Nothin&quot;, the Compassion International anthem &quot;Don't Pass Me By&quot; and the remake of the old spiritual &quot;John the Revelator&quot;.  Beatles fans will ph'lip over the Abbey Road inspired &quot;Love Divine&quot; and &quot;Reunion of Friends&quot;.  Pop lovers will enjoy &quot;Everywhere I Look&quot;, &quot;World of Mine&quot; and &quot;All There Is To Know&quot;.  Phil even adds a bit more flair to one of his more popular songs, &quot;I Will Be There&quot; (from Getting Closer, 1985).  And everyone will love the bluesy remake of Van Morrison's &quot;When Will I Ever Learn To Live In God&quot; and &quot;Nothin' But The Blood&quot; will soothe anyone's soul.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If there's a minus side to this CD, it would be &quot;I Will Be There&quot;.  A remake from 1985's &quot;Getting Closer&quot; album.  While this is one of the few songs from Phil that has ended up in a video, the redo, in my opinion, is the oddball tune of the disc.  It's not a bad version, but it's certainly not the best on the CD.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Musically, this CD is outstanding.  Phil teams up again with longtime friend and drummer John Sferra (Glass Harp) and producer Lynn Nichols (The Phil Keaggy Band) to produce a very strong performance.  The whole album has a &quot;live&quot; feel.  Guitarists will find no shortage of good &quot;licks&quot; here but there's also some very finely crafted lyrical content that ultimately brings us back to what really matters.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All in all, a fantastic disc no fan should be without.&lt;br&gt;</body>
