Keep No Secrets (1984) Remastered

Keep No Secrets was produced by Jonathan David Brown, the mastermind behind Petra's More Power To Ya, Never Say Die, Not of This World and Beat the System.  A fan favorite that remained unavailable on CD for over four decades, Keep No Secrets is now on CD for the first time ever.  Showcasing a more polished, introspective Morgan Cryar at the height of his songwriting craft. From the upbeat energetic rocker  “I Get Carried Away” to the powerful and emotional duet “Holy Fire” featuring Jayne Farrell (Farrell & Farrell), the album blends thoughtful lyrics with slick pop-rock arrangements and is just as good today as it was in 1984. Tracks like “Someone to Change Me” and “Just a Little Like You,” Cryar delivers a record full of heart, hooks, and hope. Adding major musical credibility, Marty Walsh—renowned guitarist behind Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and Donna Summer’s “She Works Hard for the Money”—lends his talents to the record, along with Christian AOR production legends Jonathan David Brown and John Andrew Schreiner.

And if you're wondering whether this album holds up musically—the answer is a resounding yes. Consider this:

• 🎸 Guitar work by Marty Walsh, known for playing on Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and Donna Summer’s “She Works Hard for the Money”

• 🎹 Arranged by John Andrew Schreiner, produced by Jonathan David Brown

• 🎧 Digitally remastered by Rob Colwell and packaged with new artwork by Scott Waters

• Holy Fire,” a standout track from Keep No Secrets, is a powerful duet with Jayne Farrell and was co-written by Twila Paris.

You Need to Know This Producer, Here's Why!

Jonathan David Brown (Producer) was one of the most influential producers in the history of Contemporary Christian Music, shaping the sound of the genre throughout the 1980s. He is best known for producing Petra’s most iconic run of albums—Never Say Die, More Power to Ya, Not of This World, Beat the System, and the live album Captured in Time and Space—which helped define Christian rock and earned widespread acclaim, including Grammy nominations. Brown also played a pivotal role in launching Twila Paris’s career, producing a string of her landmark albums including Keepin’ My Eyes on You, The Warrior Is a Child, and Kingdom Seekers. His credits also include Steve Taylor’s groundbreaking debut I Want to Be a Clone and Bob Bennett’s Matters of the Heart, which was named CCM Magazine’s Album of the Year. Through these and many other projects, Brown not only crafted a sound but shaped a movement, leaving a lasting legacy on the landscape of faith-based music.

Morgan Cryar had this to say:

Hey Friends,

Way back before I signed a first recording contract, I recorded my first independent album entitled More Than Meets the Eye.  It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to finally see More Than Meets the Eye and Keep No Secrets (my first label album) released on CD — for the very first time. These albums have always held a special place in my heart, and to know they’re being remastered and brought back to life by Girder Records is honestly quite a gift.

When we recorded these songs, I never dreamed where they might go. I'm incredibly grateful for the memories these albums carry, and for the listeners who are still listening (as well as those who are just now discovering this music for the first time).

Big thanks to Girder for believing in these projects and giving them a fresh new life. I hope these songs bless and encourage you like they did when they were first recorded.

– Morgan Cryar
