Free Music Notes for Freedom Is
Free Music Review: "freedom is just the end of the longest downhill climb"
Hit: 5 Stars
Isn't that just another way of saying "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"? Probably. But then most of what songwriters do is rework preexisting materials, including classic Kris Kristofferson songs. John Doe is an excellent songwriter. If there was any justice this album would be getting airplay, all the critics would be praising it, and it would be nominated for a Grammy, that's how good it is. But no, it languishes in obscurity, shoved aside by marketing machines and talentless drones. I just saw Doe with his still punky trio in Salt Lake City, and they kick posterior live!
FREEDOM IS... has great dynamics, moving from acoustic introspection to powerful electricity. It took a little while for the production to grow on me -- at first it sounded overproduced and murky, with too many layers of sound. But the foreground grabs you right away, and now I can hear what the use of a top-flight studio adds to the songs. Doe specializes in romantic anguish. If you haven't ever experienced that, you perhaps won't appreciate what he's doing. For the rest of us, he's tapped into it in a way that reminds you your pain is definitely not yours alone. Don't miss John Doe if he turns up at a club in your town, he is one of the best.
