Ooh, I have to strongly disagree here. I know you're the owner and boss, but it's just wrong in my opinion to slight the other two when it's equal billing. Heck, the album was Wes King's idea. Steve Morse and Steve Morse Band are both still basically Steve Morse solo. But this isn't Keaggy solo. This is an equal billing group. I ask this: if the music didn't change a note but they called themselves "Nashville Guitar Trio" would it still be added as Phil Keaggy? I bet not. Also, I'd like to point out that each member had the opportunity to do a solo track (King opted not to). That means one of the songs - multiple guitar tracks and bass - is ALL Scott Dente. Yet the song is listed as Phil Keaggy? If I were Scott Dente or Wes King, I'm not sure I'd want my equal billing album being tauted as a Phil Keaggy solo album with me as a session guy. I know the final verdict is out of my hands, but as the donator of the music, as the one who found out about this great album, and as a fan of Wes King's solo stuff and Scott Dente's band Out of the Grey, I simply want to say that I feel strongly about calling the group by their correct name: Keaggy, King, & Dente.
The difference in Keaggy, King, & Dente and Phil Keaggy is not the same difference as Grand Funk Railroad and Grand Funk.

You make some persuasive arguments Spaz, however, my gut feeling is this. My example was Steve Morse; and according to Steve, "High Tension Wires" was his first solo album - the rest were group efforts. That being said, I HEAR a lot more diversity within the universe of Steve Morse/Steve Morse Band than I do in Phil Keaggy/Keaggy, King & Dente. I'm not trying to slight anyone; that's why I added (w/King and Dente) to the album title; and since Keaggy/KKD only have two albums on the moon, I'd MUCH rather hear Steve Morse and SMB back to back than Keaggy and KKD back to back. And I did not make any changes to Glass Harp, which as you know is Keaggy's band.
