The last track "Heaven Is Home" is an unreleased song from 1970. Unfortunately, it is a very poor quality recording and it seems a waste of space including it. There is a live track "Shouts Of Joy" featuring Phil with Glass Harp which though very good does not represent Keaggy at his best when playing live. I was very disappointed to find that the "Prelude: Bach's Bourree" has been cut from the beginning of "O God, Our Help In Ages Past" while the ending of the track has also been faded out early. Equally disappointing, the hatchet has been applied to "John The Revelator", taking some two minutes or so of Keaggy's best solos of this track. The rest of the material on here undisputedly represents some of the best of Keaggy's songwriting and guitar playing throughout a recording career spanning over 25 years.

Another great compilation of songs from one of ccm's finest guitarists, and pioneer vet. This collection includes the 1976 "Your Love Broke Through" co-written by 3 individuals: 2 of which are also ccm vets. The late great Keith Green and Randy Stonehill assisted in writing this classic gemm ccm song. "Everywhere I Look" taken from 1993 "Crimson & Blue", as well as "John the Revelator" ; "Everywhere..." an all-time fave.
A song from 1980 "Ph'lip Side" is not found on either Time cds;the song "Spend my Life with You": it has a great guitar intro, plus I have original video of song.
"Maker of the Universe" another great included.This cd also has 2 fine cuts from "Emerging" (from 1977);"Take a look Around" and the beautiful song for his son Ryan that he lost "Ryan's Song". Both of the "Time" cds include rare tracks never heard, from 60's and 70's; they were great to hear, tho' not heard in best of sound quality. Take note, that the writer above seems to have Time 1 & 2 mixed up some; as song "O GOD our Help in Ages Past" is not on this cd of "Time 2", instead is on "Time 1". I have "Time 1 & 2" in my huge ccm collection. GOD Bless! -Don
