Album Notes

Fable is a ‘New American Folk’ group with roots in traditional folk, classical, country, Celtic, and gospel music. Their poignant stories are supported by acoustic instruments, haunting melodies, beautiful harmonies, lyrical violin, and the occasional keyboard and electric guitar. The songs are thought provoking, emotionally charged observations of the times and history we share. The words are tender, political, philosophical, edgy, and romantic.

“I thought of some great friends as I listened to this, and even found myself looking at photographs! Reunited in a way through this. Very lovely violin, guitar, and clear vocals. A very lovely reminder of wonderful times past.” M.B. Mixposure (Friends Over Time)

“I love everything about this song: the singers, the instruments, the lyrics. It has a sound like traditional Irish music, but it is the perfect genre for telling the story of our brave American heroes.” M.S.
Mixposure (Flight ‘93’)

“This is a CD to tell your friends about” L.T. Wake

“This is a wonderful group with lots of great tunes” Tom Ball 91.3 The Summit ‘Just Plain Folk’

Our mission is to bring the listener a pleasant and sometimes emotional repast centered in the time and life experiences we all share.
Fable continues to expand its audience and it is our hope to add you to our broadening family of listeners.
Warmest Regards.
John Crafton, Keith Bachman, Lisa Blayney, Samuel Salsbury, and Tom SchurrThank you for your interest and please accept out warmest regards.

With a healthy lack of commercial concern, he single-mindedly celebrates an authentic artistry that contrasts sharply with the current plethora of largely vapid and puerile offerings from today's "hit" makers. Fans of Britney and Jewel probably wouldn't 'get it' anyway. Not for everyone this work... but I suspect he'd have it no other way. In the best Irish tradition, I say "Maith thu"
