So I Can Tell
Cheri Keaggy / Psalm 91 Records

Three-time Dove Award-winner Cheri Keaggy released her eighth album, “So I Can Tell,” to much fanfare. With nine No. 1 songs to her credit, guidance from the legendary Phil Keaggy, and production from Scott Dente and Ken Lewis, there was no way that this record could be anything but great.

The title cut, the album’s first radio single, showcases Keaggy’s plaintive vocals and honest, down-home lyrics. Searingly honest writing across the entire album makes you believe that Keaggy is pouring out her heart only to you, the listener, and to God. With a consistent feel of old-time gospel, mixed with a thoroughly modern musical vehicle, Keaggy’s new record delights on many levels and will appeal to many musical tastes.

For you guitar aficionados (I confess), Gospel Music Hall of Famer and legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy finishes the album with the beautiful finger-style guitar ballad “Postlude: Invitation to Hope.” What a marvelous end to a great album.
