Promises Worth Keeping: The Songs of Fred Small, Vol. 2

by Fred Small

Twenty-eight songs--including words, music, and guitar chords--grace this new songbook by topical singer and songwriter Fred Small. A sequel to Breaking from the Line, Promises Worth Keeping presents songs from the well-received albums Everything Possible, I Will Stand Fast, and Jaguar. "Over the years," Fred writes, "my songs have grown more personal and less facile, less glib. I am less afraid to reveal myself in my writing and performance. I search harder for the fresh unexpected image...I venture more often beyond the story-song form to convey a feeling or message.... But, as ever, my songs are about the things I care most community, cooperation, compassion, courage, fairness, simplicity, the earth, peace, and yes, love."
