Keep No Secrets (1984)
Updated: Sep 14
Keep No Secrets is the second release and nationally debut album by Christian singer -songwriter Morgan Cryar, released in 1984 on Star Song Records.
Keep No Secrets was, according to Mark Allen Powell on his book Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music, "an acoustic pop masterpiece." There was nothing acoustic about the album. It was more of a contemporary pop album featuring programming and drum machine arrangements. Produced by Jonathan David Brown who is best known for producing albums by Twila Paris and Petra. The album featured radio hits "I Get Carried Away" and "A Few of My Old Friends" and did moderately well on Christian radio. It also features the ballad "Holy Fire" with guest vocals by Jayne Farrell of the husband and wife duo Farrell and Farrell and written by Cryar and Paris. The album has not been released on CD.
