Rockin the free world

Phillip H Moor | Centennial, CO United States | 02/21/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the best album I've heard in quite a while.
I bought this album based on some 2 minute samples I
heard of each song. When I got the CD I found that the
real music dosen't start until after the first 2 minutes
of each song, when they break into extended jams that make
for excellent headphone listening.The song, "Lullaby" sounds like a Mamas and Papas
song for the new millenium. Other tunes remind me of the
"original" Jefferson Airplane's psychedelic guitar jams.
But there is alot of variety on this CD, from an
acoustic guitar solo piece, to folk, to funk, to balls
to the wall rock and roll.I get bored with music pretty fast, but they hold my
attention by mixing it up with solo male and solo female
lead vocals and good male/female harmonies.
The production value of each song varies a little, and
there are a couple of missed notes, but thats alright with
me, because thier music is from the heart and soul.If you like your rock-n-roll close to the raw edge,
and not "product" for some record company executive,
get this CD !"

Timeless, Soulful Anthems

Steffon Moody | Seattle | 03/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A deep and wide river of soulful anthems, lush grooves, daring guitar solos and beautifully blended harmonies. The listener is bouyed not only by the impressive musicallity of FLW, but by songwriting imbued with a reverence for musical history. Their more rocking songs are fun without being flippant, and the wistful ballads are sincere without being sappy. Rocking or slow, their music has a timeless flow that just keeps on rollin'. You will definitely enjoy this CD!"

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Intelligent songwriting, songs that lift your spirits, hit you in the gut, great jams, there is alot going on in this album. Another example of an band whose talent far exceeds their recognition, and is alot better than the stuff that's getting played on the radio."
