Search - Melissa Ferrick :: Freedom

Ferrick is Absolutely Amazing

(5 out of 5 stars)

"On a budget of only $5000, Melissa Ferrick teams up again with friend and bassist Marika Tjelios to produce her second LP with W.A.R. which has, as expected, captured her vocal, songwriting, and guitar-playing talents within her fantastic folk rock sound. The album's title track, "Freedom", is the gate and theme of the album, which is explored further and further down the road on tracks like "Some Kinda Nerve", and "Win 'Em Over". The melodious "Blind Side" and "North Carolina" will have you singing along in no time at all. "Freedom" is a must for any Ferrick fan, and a great starter for those who haven't been exposed to this one-of-a-kind talent. This album earns an anticipated 5 stars for Melissa's unique style and penning such a great anthem of herself."

Great CD!

"This is a great CD! I heard Melissa at a local radio station in the Albany area and had to run out and find this CD. Keep it up Melissa!"

A very engaging CD

"This is a good CD. Not in any way perfect or timeless or brilliant, but it'll definitely be worth your money and time spent listening. The upbeat songs are my favorite - Blind Side, North Carolina and Some Kinda Nerve. They really get you going and inspire you to sing right along with her.
She's got a voice that's a cross between Ani Difranco and Alanis Morissette. Very strong but nothing all that unique. Although the arrangements are sort of simple, the guitar playing is good. For what it's worth, this has inspired me to purchase another of her CDs."
