Ship of Dreams Album Review | June 2014



STEVE FREE I SHIP OF DREAMS


Those not familiar with Steve Free ... think Arlo Guthrie meets Don McClean. The winner of numerous Music Industry Awards including 9 ASCAP Ship of DreamsAward's, a Platinum Record and a Grammy® Award nomination, Steve has charted over 30 songs on the National and International Americana, Country and Billboard Charts, including 15 No.1 songs. Fans of Folk and Americana will enjoy Steve Free's latest offering —14 songs of pleasantry. No extremes here. The tone of this entire release is steady and moderate. with the one exception being the bouncy blues of “Find Me A Job." The standout tracks here, oddly enough, are both odes to the love of an old dog. “Old Blue" and “Ole Link" strike a familiar chord with anyone who's ever lost an old faithful friend. Anyone glancing at the CDs liner notes can clearly see the love of family pouring from this man. And that love is apparent throughout the entire listen.
