Details:
FREEDOM is the second CD from busy Toronto folk duo Crabtree&Mills.
Following the exciting launch of Flight of Fancy, their first duo recording together, Paul Mills and Joanne Crabtree played many successful concerts around southern Ontario, all the while developing their tight vocal harmonies.
In the summer of 2007, Joanne was gripped by a song-writing fever that did not subside for many months, but just as it was beginning to wane, Paul joined her in the adventure, and over many snow-bound days in late 2007, they wrote three heartfelt songs together.
Those eleven songs - some sad, some funny, some from personal history, some plucked from thin air – those songs are the heart and soul of FREEDOM, and from creativity to civil rights, freedom plays a role in every one of them.
Armed with their own writings, two songs from tradition, two from like-minded authors, and the feeling they could not wait to start sharing this new repertoire with everyone who had responded so warmly to Flight of Fancy, Paul and Joanne headed back into the recording studio in 2008. This CD, FREEDOM, is the result.
