Written from a someone else's perspective. The most remarkable thing about this recording is it captured the final phrasing, the writing, of the song. One of my favorites..

1 Can't Love Enough 4-2

An anthem for childless cat ladies- and all women who cherish their rights and freedoms. Inspired by the political conversations of the 2024 election. An acoustic track influenced by artists like the Indigo Girls and the iconic folk artists of the 1960s. With backing vocals by Gathering Time. Producer: Bob Harris.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

2021 -If Steve Earle and Elvis Costello got pissed enough to write political tunes, they would sound like Pete Kronowitt songs. Pete writes songs with hooks, a dash of alt-country, a smidgen of something familiar yet new; catchy songs ranging from acoustic alternative pop and country to Indie with progressive lyrical phrasing but who likes being categorized? Pete founded Face the Music Collective, a guide for creative activists utilizing performances to inspire targeted individual action, one event at a time. With 5 albums to his credit, Pete Kronowitt combines performing and activism. Pete’s new album, Do Something Now, was released in September 2020.
