Songs for Truth and Harmony
A timely psycho-political musical collection of my best songwriting constructed to promote and inspire truth and harmony

I’ve been making recordings since 1965. RCA, VANGUARD, ALLIGATOR, even DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON and this is the first one that I didn’t write strictly for my own joy, but to join the effort to defend our democracy, using the psychology of compassion through the magic of music. As it turns out, this is my best writing in 50 years. Please at least take a good look. “Songs for Truth and Harmony,” at the minimum we can say; “We tried.” - Corky
