about

BRITISH BLUES ROCK WITH ATTITUDE, PEACE, LOVE AND FREEDOM

The impact made in Britain in the 60s by legendary American blues artists such as Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf cannot be overstated. With their loud guitars, soulful voices and sexually charged lyrics, they inspired a new generation of aspiring young UK bands to throw off their inhibitions and make music that had the same brashly unapologetic energy and raw power. By plugging in and cranking up the volume they succeeded in capturing the imagination of the youth of the day.

Freedom were one of many groups that grew from that particularly fertile period that saw the likes of Alexis Korner, John Mayall, The Yardbirds and of course the Rolling Stones come to the fore. Comprising former members of the highly successful Procol Harum, the band recorded fresh original material that put them at the cutting edge of what became known as blues rock all the while covering classics by their role models.

Freedom At Last is one of the best albums the group made in a relatively short life cycle. At times loud, hard and aggressive and at times mellow and introspective, the music showcases the compositional strengths of Bobby Harrison and co, while the reprises of anthems by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon and Junior Wells makes it clear the band knew where it was going because it did not forget where it came from.

This newly remastered version of Freedom At Last is a very timely reminder of the vibrant work of a British band that made premium blues rock with attitude.

“...a quality album...An amazing power trio this is probably the missing link between 60s bands like Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and more experimental outﬁts like Led Zep, Deep Purple and the harder edge that The Who developed.” Classic Rock Society

“...strong blues-rock with influences of Groundhogs and Savoy Brown with some Captain Beefheart-esque vocals..” Record Collector

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

SML's music sometimes makes me cry with joy. It is so singular in it's beauty and wit - otherworldly and futuristic, and yet, so familiar and perfect for today.. The most unique, and therefore the best LP I've heard in 2-7 years. Artfully constructed and engineered as well. Fantastic jazz for this new century/millennium. mohaski
