Customer Reviews:
It's all about Boogie Finger.......2000-05-15
I'd call this one 3 1/2 stars, if it were possible. FreeWorld's a solid band, and manages, oddly, to be a young-sounding and -acting group, despite having been around aince 1987. In some ways, FreeWorld is more of a musicians' convention than a solid band, as their line-up is very fluid in way that they've turned into a feature rather than a bug -- old members never really seem to leave, related bands and musicians constantly show up to jam with the group, and it has an extended "family" of players that can honestly call themselves part of FreeWorld that numbers into the dozens. Which is the problem with this album, really: not much of that makes it onto the plastic. It's a fun album, whimsically written and solidly, tightly performed. But it pales next to the live show. I give it four stars, because it can call to mind seeing them live (every weekend, for nearly a year). If you've never seen the group (and its extensions and various iterations) perform, call it a three. Except "Boogie Finger." That's a five. Good song.
