Judah is an American musician who here has, impressively, persuaded guitar maestro Keaggy to contribute his dazzling skills to this instrumental project. Overall, it's a pretty good effort, although the recording quality is not great, with the tunes having relaxing and meditative feel. There are few guitar pyrotechnics from Mr Keaggy, but then we have to remember this album is supposed to be an ambient, sedate collection of tracks. The sound effects - the birds twittering on "Angels Wings" and the sounds of rain on "Healing Stripes" - are rather cringeworthy though on the plus side the opening track with layered guitars and a catchy melody works well. Hardly groundbreaking then though Keaggy completists might want to search this out.
