Review

What this CD reveals is a very good songwriter at work, with thoughtful, articulate lyrics and original melodies, beautifully arranged. --Arthur Elliot, "Sidestream", 99.7 Brisbane, Australia, 2/126/06

Product Description

Best known for a long career as a sideman to some of rock's biggest names, including a decade as bassist for Bonnie Raitt, Freebo has stepped up into a new role - singer-songwriter. It suits him well. Before the Separation, the L.A.-based ex-Philadelphian's third album, flows with a compassionate spirit rooted in '60s ideals, but packing a gently urgent relevancy. The songs are built on Freebo's acoustic guitar and fretless bass, giving them a sublimely folkish foundation that occasionally heads off into rock and soul (the horn-kissed "The Beauty of Life"). The finale, "The Freedom Wall," shows that, in addition to an engaging earnestness, Freebo is also capable of biting irony - Nick Cristiano, Philadelphia Inquirer (www.freebo.com)

This review is from: Before The Separation (Audio CD)

Freebo has woven a masterpiece of beautiful, soulful music with a powerful message. A must have for those of us in dire need of sanity in a not so sane world. Wonderful production throughout with Freebo's unmistakable fretless 5 string bass ringing true.
