Free Music Notes for Diamonds & Debris
Free Music Review: If You Like Hendrix & Skynrd
Hit: 5 Stars
5 Stars = Masterpiece
Cry of Love put out two albums in the 90's, the excellent "Brother" & one of the best albums (my opinion) released in the 90's "Diamonds & Debris."
Cry of Love named themselves after a posthumous Jimi Hendrix album. So one would expect a healthy dose of Hendrixian guitar & that was definitely there, but this band also had its roots deeply dug into Southern Rock ala' Lynryd Skynyrd & with "Diamonds & Debris" put out one of the best heavy Southern Rock records ever made.
Cry of Love's lead singer also set the band apart sounding very much like John Schlitz of Head East, with all the emotive range of John to, a voice of gold that perfectly complemented the beautiful & sincere music that this band created.
Unfortunately Cry of Love is another band that came out ten years or more to late, as Grunge was starting to dominate the air waves & CD sales, but for anyone who has the slightest interest in Jimi Hendrix & Southern Rock do your self a favor & pick up both albums from this band, your ears will thank you for it!
Free Music Review: Strat-o-licious
Hit: 5 Stars
A diamond of post-classic rock. Aside from great songs and playing all around, this CD, along with COL's other CD, present the best Stratocaster tone achieved (that I've heard) to date. Of course that's a subjective statement. But I dare any true (non-surf) Strat connoisseur to listen to this CD and disagree. The only other Strat tone that comes close is Chris Duarte's on Texas Sugar/Strat Magik, but the songs here are much more durable.
What a shame Aubrey went over to the BCs. The two COL CDs blow away the entire BC catalog, IMO (and I'm a BC fan; they're great, just COL is better).
Let's hope they reunite one of these days. Meanwhile it will take a couple hundred more listens before I get tired of these two classic rock jewels.
Free Music Review: Awesome!
Hit: 5 Stars
I will tell you the truth. I've discovered this hard rock jewel just a month ago and there is nothing like discovering a band like Cry of Love on these days. Just listen to Hung Out To Dry and you will know what I am talking about - one of the 10 most delightful rock songs of the 90's.Free Music Review: timeless

Ah, no wonder I love this CD so much. Audley Freed on guitar. Check him out with The Black Crowes, especially "Live at the Greek" with Jimmy Page. Diamonds and Debris flows from track to track very well with songs that complement each other nicely. These guys remind me of bands from my youth like Grand Funk Railroad, Free, Bad Company, The James Gang, and even Jimmy Hendrix. Very "Joe Walsh" like with great hooks and lyrics. Try keeping a tear from your eye while listening to "Garden of Memories" after a couple glasses of wine in the evening. A nearly perfect and beautiful ode to love lost and the enevitable regrets of life. Currently my favorite CD. Come Back Sugarcane is a great song to wake up to in the morning. Really gets the endorphines flowing. Thanks guys! Good job!Free Music Review: cry of love, please get back together!

I believe the two Cry of Love cd's to be a necessity of every avid music appreciaters collection. When listening to these albums you can almost see a young Audley Freed sitting in his basement with a collection of Hendrix, Free, Stones, and maybe Mountain records, strat in hand, picking up the needle again and again to try and learn that essential lick. The guitar playing alone makes these cd's worth owning, and I personally guarantee that Freed would call Hendrix (isn't Cry of Love a Jimi man song?) and Paul Kosoff of Free his favorite guitar players. The songs have that explosive, sometimes funky, all the time soulful, southern feel to them, and as said before these albums are a must have. Thank you Cry of Love, your music has made my world a better place.
