"Hidden Agenda" was originally a four-song EP that was released in 2003. The initial work, which is now considered a collector's item, was a collaboration between Kem Anderson and Bob Nunlee, who has since retired from the music business and declined to participate in the re-release. Anderson's songs, "The Promise" and "Northside Saturday Night," speak to ideas of relationship commitment and the amorous longings of two souls intertwined.
