There's a Train a Comin'

My second album, There's a Train a Comin', is available either in it's entirety of 14 tracks, or as singles, from these fine retailers:

Why Didn't You Tell Me?

Lyrics and Music by Rhoda Daniel, © 1995

I'm not sure why you hid the truth
Right from the start
Somehow you knew I needed help
And you offered a caring heart, but

Chorus:: Why didnt you tell me?; Why didnt you let me know?; Why didnt you let it show, that you were a married man?; You knew that I thought you free; Why didnt you correct me?

It's not that you made an improper move,
But we shared a special space.
We bonded in a blink of time
I could see it in your face, so
(chorus)

You spoke words a man should save
For the woman of his choice.
Every time you spoke with me
I could feel a mutual joy, so
(chorus)

Even though I know the truth,
The bond is very strong.
So I dont chose to carry on,
It could well lead us wrong, but
(chorus)

Inspiration

Why Didn't You Tell Me? This happens to most of us somewhere along in life. We fall for someone really great only to find they are really not available to us at all.

Acknowldgements

I want to thank both Robb Tripp and Walt Harrah for the wonderful job they both did to make this album a reality. I am grateful to you both; you are both gifted producers. And a special thank you to all the great musicians and arrangers who were a part of this project.

The original production under Robb Tripp in TN was titled: Country Christian and produced in the Nashville area with a live band of superb musicians. I could tell them what I was hearing for each song and they not only gave me what I asked, but way beyond as well.

Three songs were produced in CA with Walt Harrah. Besides being a producer, he is also a talented singer. I was delighted when he agreed to be the singer on both Fire Insurance (about accepting Jesus), and The Wolves Are Out (about the importance of judging by fruits). He was also my duet partner in 45 & Holding (about always putting God off). He's also particularly gifted at harmony. He could lay down 4 harmony tracks in succession without even one sour or missed note.
