[Jack's guitar and hat]

when you're born you make a promise
when you die it is fulfilled
that you cannot take it with you
it'll stay just as it's built
so in harmony with nature
as the parent to your child
you will leave it as you found it
just as sacred and as wild
       —Jack Hardy, "The Promise" (1994)

"With the reissuing of Hardy's first 10 albums, the full range of his talents is showcased for the first time. [...] With his songs set firmly in the centuries-old tradition of Celtic balladry, Hardy shapes his metaphors in a vision that successfully blends history, mythology, romanticism, and politics."
