“Put Out The Roses” is the 11th album recorded by BRITT SMALL & FESTIVAL, and it is a collection of songs most requested by their fans. Of course, there is the title song, "Put Out The Roses", written by Archie Johnson, and the most requested BRITT SMALL & FESTIVAL song. But, there are also songs from BRITT SMALL & FESTIVAL's Las Vegas show. "Mack the Knife", has that hard-driving FESTIVAL swing, and it's sung as only Britt can sing it, as with "Memory" from the musical "Cats" and it displays the fabulous control and dynamics of FESTIVAL. Britt does an emotional interpretation of the dynamic love ballad, "Sometimes When We Touch", and FESTIVAL performs a full three-part harmony rendition of, "To Love Somebody". Two duets featuring Britt and Becky, "Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now", and "Up Where We Belong", sail into the sky. An amazing new element in the band starts to come to the fore in this album, and that is the pedal steel guitar played by Stan. Stan puts the cherry on the top of every song. BRITT SMALL & FESTIVAL have once again developed another new sound, a pedal steel guitar with a big brass band.
