"Jesus Set Me Free" (Max Butler, 2007)
Fret Not Gospel at the Noe Valley Ministry for the 2008 San Francisco Bluegrass and Old-Time Festival. A bunch or our a-list songs are funeral songs like it should be for an old-time gospel band. So it only makes sense that we should also have an old-time murder ballad. This song is probably the first and only gospel murder ballad ever, written by Max Butler.
Song 8 Recorded - February 8, 2008
We play, what could be called Americana gospel, the old-time roots music from the traditions of the black and white rural American churches, plus a few of our own.

This was truely beautiful. I miss this sound in churches today. I wish I could find one that still had the old gospel ways.
