Town to Town (1981)

Writer's picture: Joel CaballeroJoel Caballero

Town to Town is the sixth solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy. It was released in late October 1981 and is his second album on Sparrow Records. Keaggy co-produced the album with Bob Cotton.


Town to Town opens with a new wave type rocker "Wished You Were There," in which Keaggy dedicated the track to his fellow Glass Harp members John Sferra and Daniel Pecchio. Christian vocalist Michele Pillar provides backing vocals on "Full Circle" and performs a duet with Keaggy on the track "What a Wonder You Are." The final track "Let Everything Else Go" is a fine ballad with inspired lyrics. It has also become a concert favorite. Keaggy has written and arranged the entire album. Town to Town was reissued in 1991 by Myrrh/Word Records, along with Ph'lip Side and Play Thru Me on 2 CDs. It's on "This Disc" (Disc 1) but with a different track listing. In 2022, the album was reissued solo with its original track listing order and digitally remastered by Strobie Records. In 1982, Town to Town peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart.
