Details:
The debut album from the UK-based duo Free Spirit, Rock and a Soft Place reflects the diverse musical styles that have influenced them over the years. If you want virtuoso performances, political rantings or vocal pyrotechnics in your music then maybe this album is not for you; but if quality songwriting with strong, thoughtful lyrics and enchanting melodies is more your thing, combined with rich vocal textures and melodic guitar explorations, then you owe it to yourself to check out this album. These ten varied original songs, from the exuberant energy of the title track to the relaxed introspection of the instrumental After The Storm, not only offer the instant gratification so often sought by busy people in an increasingly frantic world, but will also reward repeated listening for a very long time to come. Avoiding the obvious trap of trying to capture current musical fashions, Nigel and Cyn LePage have succeeded in infusing this enticing album with a timeless quality that will still be enjoyed long after the current flavour of the month has faded into a dim half-memory.
