Release Notes:
--------


Outside of Philadelphia I was born and raised, and in the playground I spent
quite a few of my younger days. At the time I had a preference for brunettes but
years pass and we change. When my tendencies turned toward blondes I began to
hear the call of the big rotten apple and at eighteen, away I went. Gone were
the lonely, sweaty summer nights of PA. The crickets were still crickenÆ but not
in my ears. I was in New York and I was looking for action. Some crave love,
some seek danger but I was on the hunt for open mics and not to bragùI found
æem. In a section of the city once referred to as alphabet on the lower east
side there lurks a lot of white guys with acoustic guitars. This minor mass of
songsters would meet one, two and sometimes three times a week in the back of
bars, smoking, drinking and sharing with each other our newest creations. It was
there that I met some good friends and came of age beginning to play my own
shows and tour.



One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim's live shows is the
sureness that one is always entering a genuine gospel-like musical experience
full of little miracles. Be Set Free has captured this charisma and spirit -the
"hold your heart" moments and "raise a drink" dance vibes shine throughout with
lush string arrangements and the fine sonic talents of drummer Malachi DeLorenzo
and new bassist Jeff Ratner. Langhorne's stronger than ever vocals lead the
journey blending his poetry through the beautiful chaos and bearing a wisdom
that reflects a broken heart battling the perils of true hope.

Be Set Free is Langhorne's most cinematic and cohesive effort to date. Slim has
truly reached a point of light where these songs come from wide-eyed maturity
and mastered craft.

Gut wrenching lyrics and gorgeous merry melodies-it would be easy to categorize
it as folk, but this time-it's much more complex than just that slice of pie.
Sweet hallelujah choruses bleed throughout tracks like "Land Of Dreams" and "Say
Yes" and turn to the darkness of blues filled "I Love You, But Goodbye".
