Freedom - Freedom (1970) [Reissue 2000]

Freedom were formed in late 1967 by two former Procol Harum members, drummer Bobby Harrison and guitarist Ray Royer. The second incarnation of this band, featured guitarist Roger Saunders and bass player Walter Monagham. Both had featured in a band called The Washington DCs who had a No 1 hit single in Turkey in 1964 with the song "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine".Freedom were stylistically on a par with other bands such as Cream. Their first album 'At Last' is also available on Angel Air. This CD is a reissue of the follow-up album released in 1970.More changes in the band occurred, Pete Dennis replaced Monagham on bass and extra keyboard player Steve Jolly joined.By late 1972, Freedom had disbanded. Roger Saunders made some headway as a session player and songwriter and throughout most of the eighties was a member of Gary Glitter's Band. Sadly he died early in 2000. Bobby Harrison went on to form Snafu.

Freedom's third album, originally issued in 1970 and reissued on CD in 2000 by Angel Air, is dire period British hard rock in the power trio format. While there's occasional laid-back reflective songwriting amongst the largely original material, its lumpy rhythms and unexceptional melodies make it hard to say much of anything about it, really, except to note that it's easy to envision them as a support act on any number of shows and tours of the era. The numbers emphasizing vocal harmonies are at least inoffensive (if boring), which can't be said of their outings into boogie blues-rock and proto-metal (as on the title track) that really grate. It might have been a cool idea in 1970 to cover the Standells' "Dirty Water," which wasn't a hit in Britain and wasn't yet fashionable as a garage band standard. It is not cool, however, to retitle the song "Frustrated Woman" and take the songwriting credits, as the members do even on the sleeve of the 2000 CD release.
