Freedom's Child

Amazon.com
Only Billy Joe Shaver could inject salacity into a line like "I went down to Kinko's / To get some faxing done." It's a renaissance that began when his Tramp on Your Street album heralded a dramatic, triumphant return of a long-overlooked pillar of the Outlaw movement. On it, Shaver's creative grit, enhanced by son Eddy's roaring lead guitar, resurged with a vengeance. That consistency held through every subsequent album despite multiple tragedies in recent years: the successive deaths of his mother, wife, and Eddy, and Shaver's own onstage heart attack. Here, accompanied by a first-rate studio band, he rocks with Todd Snider on "Déjà Blues" and waxes patriotic ("Freedom's Child" and a swinging remake of "Good Ol' U.S.A."). "Day by Day" showcases his knowing, evocative storytelling, which carries over to his Johnny Cash homage "That's Why the Man in Black Sings the Blues." As always, each performance has the feel of an ancient field recording or Walker Evans photograph, one more reason Shaver remains a national treasure. --Rich Kienzle

freedom child is a hit!!!.......2006-10-29

this cd provided us hours of listening pleasure on a long road trip to nova scotia canada......both my partner and myself became avid fans of every song on the cd.......my dearest wish before i go to the great beyond is to see billy joe shaver live!........i have a friend in austin to visit so perhaps at that time.......what a performer as well as i have seen him live on the don imus show and that is where the love story for me began......my boyfriend is even a little jealous tho he also loves each song......BUY IT!!!

One Man's Pain Set to Music........Beyond WORDS.. A Masterpiece.......2006-09-04

Once again....BJS moves music to places very few others have or can.
The heartbreaking pain in the songs "Day By Day", "Honey Chile" , "We" and "Freedom's Child" are beyond words....The wonderful haunting melodies stick in your head and you really like them....then you start to REALLY listen to the words (and real meanings) and you find yourself realizing that these wonderful melodies are filled with backbreaking pain, lost, mistakes, thing left unspoken, regrets, long gone loved ones and newly ones lost to death....The tears this man must have cried that inspired these jewels is a man who knows the deepest rawest edge of human experience.
The ride is awesome but very very hard when you know the models for each verse.
This cd is a Masterpiece.
Thanks Bill!! I have now heard the FINEST works man can set to music.

Freedom's Child.......2003-03-10

This is a great album. I like all of the song's and it really
showcases a talented song-writer and performer, namely Billy Joe
Shaver. Since I got hooked on the Flatlander's CD recommended by Don Imus on his radio show on WFAN, I just knew that Imus' recommendation for Freedom's Child was must have for me as well.

Welcome Home.......2002-12-14

Welcome home, Billy Joe. It's been too long. There's a maturity in Billy Joe's voice, and more modern instrumentation. That's a good thing! But the roots and essence of this man's music is right up front. I guess I'm one of the few that really didn't appreciate Shaver with a rock background. This is a country singer the way country singers should sound. GREAT recording; keep 'em coming billy Joe.

Negro Spirituals from a Soprano, Jeanette Thompson.......2006-02-09

I realy enjoyed this cd. It kinda took me back in the day. Although, I wasnt born during the time of the Negro Spirtituals, my spirit naturally gravitates to the calls of my ancestors. Jeanette Thompson brings a strong energy to the songs on the cd. If you like the Negro Spirituals from back in the day, you will enjoy this cd. If you like the sound of a Soprano, that will be a bonus. Sit back, relax and let your Soul remind you of just how far we have come, since the enslavement of a Afrikan people. Our Faith Is Unshakeable!!!We Are Here To Stay!!

Music Lovers Review.......2006-07-05

This is an awesome band and the CD is even better. The project is very well produced with outstanding songs. Very well written with heart warming lyrics. Intrumentation is well done and vocal harmonies are very tight.
Great CD and worth every penny. Don't miss this one.

Okay..........2005-04-04

The music is okay. It is made up of the typical band that gets together to record a CD and breaks up. I wouldn't pay to see this group, but if they were playing I wouldn't run the other direction either.
