1998 Karen Blake – Small Potatoes
Small Potatoes is the second studio album from American singer Karen Blake. Released indenpendently in 1998 and produced by her husband Philip Giffin, it was a labor of love. When their first child, Willa Grace, was born, they recognized that there were few records that could be enjoyed by a child but was also satisfying to the adult ear. “Small Potatoes” is a wonderful and sophisticated compilation of songs about unconditional love and hope.
