I've been a fan of Freebo's since the days he backed up Bonnie Raitt on fretless bass and blues tuba. I recently had the opportunity to see him playing with Maria Muldaur. I met him after the show and bought his CD based on hearing him perform one tune from it. This CD is a killer! I don't know how he's managed to hide his songwriting and singing abilities all these years but I'm sure glad he has finally come to the front and given us a much fuller picture of his talents. The span of musical genres on this album is breathtaking and his backup players are the best in the business. Everything from reggae to full-out rock. I hope he has more of this to share with us in a follow on album. This was worth the wait to hear him leading the way! Try it. You'll like it!

Freebo shows himself as a master talent and he takes with him on this CD the best from a famous group of jazz and blues musicians. This is good for some soulful music, some rocking music and some fun music. It makes for good feelings and good memories. I really recommend it.

Accomplished as a world class Bassist - Freebo is expanding his horizons to Lead singer, songwriter and now producer. He has picked a great name for his album - as I feel this is ONLY his beginning.

Multi-talented musician, he performs with his famous bass, acoustical guitar, tuba and various other intruments in an eclectric collection of innovative and original music.

Bringing his experience from Rock, Country, R&B and Blues to this CD penned from his life experiences ('Trouble'and 'I feel Good') - he has fun with tunes like 'Yogi' - complete with a tuba rift- and the D-O-G tune.

'How do I say GOodbye' - with special guest Bonnie Raitt - as stayed in my head - as I h um my way down the highway.

I love this record! Wonderful music, sounds great, good song writing. Great guest artists, Freebo never sounded better! What a wonderful bass player and singer. Everyone should own this CD! One of my favorites
