Synopsis

Album Description

Handy nominee Alice Stuart led the charge for women in rock and roll (with Frank Zappa!!) in the late '60s and '70s before retiring to raise her kids. Freedom is the brand new recording by Alice with the Formerlys more than ever uniquely delivering the depths of her influences. The album title says it all...the Freedom to play what comes naturally. Alice and the band deliver a phenomenal range of musical styles here. It?s pure American music moving from rockabilly to R&B to ballads and a jazzy instrumental with ease. Alice was recognized by the Seattle Weekly for Seattle?s Best Guitarist (2005), Best Band (2004-2006), by the Washington Blues Society as Best Songwriter (2003-2006) and will be representing the Portland, Oregon based Cascade Blues Association in the 2008 Int?l Blues Challenge in Memphis in the solo/duo category. Freedom is a great album defining American music for artists of any gender or age...and Alice ROCKS!

CD Reviews

Fine music from Alice Stuart

6 String Guy | 07/02/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I enjoyed this CD. This is a blend of country, rock and a bit of blues. The focus is on the songwriting and Alice wrote all but 2 of the songs here. Well done I might add. The musicians complement the vocals nicely although nothing really stands out as exceptional. Alice plays the guitar and adds the right touch to support the songs with no long solos. This is pleasant music, well written and well played. I will be exploring more of Alice Stuart's music after listening to this as it is apparent that she is a talented musician deserving of wider recognition."
