Description
“An exploration into Americana and Bluegrass bliss that merged with improvisational jazz and Coltrane culture. The result is something new and precious.” ~Dee Dee McNeil, Making A Scene
“Liberty Now! … an album that does not shout but insists, that does not simply recall the past but reanimates it, binding together memory, protest, and personal loss into a singular statement. [Free Country’s] collaboration spans nearly thirty years, and what emerges is not only virtuosity but a lived camaraderie, the sort that cannot be faked … music that feels urgent, even combustible … a dialogue between protest and celebration … a capacity to unsettle, then console, to amuse, then provoke … a call to consciousness … for hope, for resistance, for solidarity.”
A MUST / INDISPENSABLE
