About This:

Fred Small's fans have waited seven years for Only Love, his seventh album, and he rewards them with his best work ever. Small's unique blend of e story of the anti-bigotry menorah campaign in Billings, Montana; the Zen hip-hop "Buddha behind the Wheel"; and the achingly simple "Only Love." "Nobody's Beauty" is a country-rock charmer that isn't just skin-deep. "The Weed" sets to music a startling poem written by George Brooks, Jr., a convict on death row. The range of emotions evoked by Small's music is matched by the deft production of multi-instrumentalist Seth Connelly, aided by Billy Novick on clarinet and soprano sax, Al Gould on violin and viola, and Russell Lane on drums.
