Play Thru Me is the seventh solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy. It was released on August 17, 1982 and is his third and final album on Sparrow Records. Keaggy co-produced the album with Bob Cotton. Some album highlights include "Morning Light," the mostly instrumental "Happy" but he doesn't sing until near the end of the song and the title track. Keaggy's wife Bernadette and their then 16 month old daughter Alicia contribute vocals on the track "Papa Song."
Play Thru Me was reissued in 1991 by Myrrh/Word Records on 2 CDs, along with Ph'lip Side and Town to Town. It's on "That Disc" (Disc 2) with the same track listing as on the original Sparrow release. It was reissued solo in 2022 by Strobie Records digitally remastered. The album climbed to number 12 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart by the spring of 1983.
