”Freebo’s intimate and go-down-easy personable vocals tie in light-hearted fare, social commentary and spiritual quest with love-sweet-love, and make it sound seamless.” (Janet Goodman, Music News Nashville)
”Standing Ovation is an astounding song which encompasses a profound view of life, destined to become a classic.” (Russ Paris,Folkworks.org)
