3 out of 5 stars Incorrect Product Description.......2006-05-06

The product description provided by Amazon is incorrect. That description refers to Hoyt's superior 1969 album, My Griffin Is Gone. This pleasant but ultimately mediocre album came out in 1978. I used to own it on a double length cassette coupled with the similar sounding Snowblind Friend from 1977. If you took the best songs from those two albums, that grouping of songs would warrant four stars. Each album on its own deserves three stars a piece. If you like Hoyt, you're not going to go wrong with Free Sailin' but don't expect a masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good Hoyt Axton CD.......1999-10-15

Although some of Hoyt's other albums are better, this one is definitely worth having. Jana Lee Dare cowrote Them Downers, and does a great job with Hoyt singing it.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT MUSIC!!.......1999-02-03

FREE SAILING MAY BE EVEN BETTER THAN SNOWBLIND FRIEND. HOYT WAS AT AN ABSOLUTE PEAK DURING THE '70S. HIS SONGWRITING WAS IMPECCABLE. HIS DELIVERY UNLIKE NO ONE ELSE. THE CHICKS DOING THE BACKUP VOCALS SOUND LIKE THE ANGELS SINGING. MARK MAGWIRE LINCOLN NE
