Freedy is one of the greatest singer songwriters around today---and all this releases have stacks of gems. This just happens to be my favorite. Lucky One, Burning Down This Place and Mortician's Daughter are all diamonds for me.
This song you should own. I do not mean to diss the rest, but this one song, a lament of a gambler has in it all of the raw emotion of anyone who has ever had a serious crush, an optimist's fixation on a dream. It's sort of gritty, but it is real. I heard a guy sing it and asked him about the song. Give it a go, you have risked more for less.
This album is pure strummed dirty-guitar-driven, soulful Americana. Comparisons to John Hiatt and John Mellencamp are pretty accurate from a song structure and instrumentation perspective. Freedy's vocals sound much younger and far less cigarette and booze weary than the aforementioned. You won't find a lot of complex layering and studio tricks, but you will find honest ripped jeans rowdiness.
I've had this on vinyl for years and got goosebumps when I saw it here. Excellent songs and a unique vocal performance make this one of my all-time favorites.
Word has that Freedy actually did sell the family farm he'd inherited to pay for this collection of captivating tunes. They capture the feelings of a restless youth growing up in the flat heartland and wanting out.
I highly recommend this album, and would suggest that you download all 13 tracks. My personal favorites are "Responsible" and "Trying to Tell You I Don't Know".
Freedy was once considered the next Neil Young, after 2 great records in the early 90s. This is the first of the 2 and is an intelligent, well crafted, melodic delight. The Lucky one and Responsible are my favorite tracks, but the record is complete work and should be listened to in that way.....This Perfect World is also an exceptional record.
When this album first came out, I had that selfish rush of discovery I seldom get anymore. The album is personal and universal; singular and familiar; the soul of a singer-songwriter and the spirit of folk with the energy of rock and roll.
I can't believe I'm the first to review this album. What a brilliant, simple but beautiful record. Not really a bad song on the whole thing. Definitely an underrated album that deserves to be heard.
