BACKGROUND:
FreeWorld is an independent, ever-evolving, Memphis-based musical ensemble
that draws from influences as broad-based as Booker T. & the M.G.’s, Steely
Dan, Chicago, John Coltrane and Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead,
Bob Marley, and The Meters. These brothers under one multicultural groove
have remained a consistently entertaining and informed voice on the Memphis
music scene since the group’s inception in 1987.
FreeWorld’s 8th album, “More Love”, showcases the band at a creative
high point, with a set of new songs that covers the gamut of their musical
breadth and originality. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Grammy Award
nominated audio engineers Kevin Houston, Ari Morris, and Brad Blackwood –
and with the added bonus of an Atmos surround sound mix of the song “Rush
Hour” available online – the overall audio quality of the album is
state-of-the-art, and the broad cross section of musical styles and genres
that FreeWorld is famous for playing during their extended live sets on Beale
Street all blend together effortlessly across the entire album. In addition,
featured cameo appearances from over a dozen special guests and FreeWorld
alumni – including the Tennessee Mass Choir on the title track – only add
to the fullness and richness of the songwriting craft displayed on the album,
and further showcase the quality of the musicianship and the deep camaraderie
that flourishes within the extended FreeWorld family.
FreeWorld’s new album also includes the audio track from their recent,
award-winning music video, “D-Up (Here’s To Diversity)”, which took
multiple 1st place awards in various international film festivals and global
music video award contests in 2022, and also features the four surviving
original FreeWorld band members from 1987 on the song entitled “Red
Moon”, composed by their founding father, Dr. Herman Green.
FreeWorld is also proud to once again feature an amazing piece of custom art
by Memphis painter/muralist David Lynch on the cover of “More Love”.
FreeWorld was honored to receive a coveted Brass Note on the Beale Street
Walk of Fame in 2012, and they’ve also had the honor and privilege of
sharing the stage with a wide variety of musical legends over the years,
including Levon Helm, The Memphis Horns, Billy Preston, Bootsy Collins,
Richie Havens, Blues Traveler, Derek Trucks, Hot Tuna, Los Lobos, Dr. John,
Timothy Leary, The Bar-Kays, Ann Peebles, Steve Cropper, James Cotton, Mojo
Buford, Jimmie Vaughan & Double Trouble, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang,
Jim Belushi, and Widespread Panic just to name a few.
Keep your eyes & ears tuned to FreeWorld throughout 2024 and beyond, as their
latest studio album, “More Love”, marks yet another proud milestone in
the band’s musical odyssey that now spans more than a third of a century.
