| | Homefree is a soulful, swinging album that Freelon calls her | |
| | "home brew." The collection is comprised largely of contemporary | |
| | interpretations of classic American Songbook tunes as well as a | |
| | new original (the witty, playful and poignant "Cell Phone Blues" | |
| | composed by the singer) and spirited arrangements of two anthems | |
| | (the gospel treasure "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and the national | |
| | hymn "America the Beautiful") that close the album. | |
| | | |
| | Homefree opens with a brisk swing through "The Lamp Is Low," | |
| | followed by the laid-back and easy-flowing arrangement of "I Feel | |
| | Pretty," the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim West Side Story | |
| | classic that features Ray Codrington's soulful flugelhorn lines. | |
| | The latter has been in the band's set-list for some five years, | |
| | including a jazz show at the Kennedy Center for Miss America | |
| | contestants and their escorts. | |
| | | |
| | "Most of the songs on Homefree are part of our repertoire," says | |
| | Freelon. "We've tested them on the road, getting insight on what | |
| | works and what doesn't by looking at how our audiences respond. | |
| | That's different from many recordings where you start at the | |
| | studio and tour the music. The way we recorded this CD meant that | |
| | the music was deeper in our bones. It also shows how the way we | |
| | originally played the tunes gradually changed shape. These are | |
| | all songs that were well-tested and loved and ready to record." | |
| | | |
| | Other highlights include a soulful groove through of "You and the | |
| | Night and the Music," arranged by drummer Kinah Ayah; a skipping, | |
| | reggae-tinged rendition of Cole Porter's "Get Out of Town," that | |
| | was arranged jointly by the band turning the standard upside down | |
| | during a sound check; and, a new tune to the band's set, the | |
| | rarely covered AndrΘ Previn-written beauty, "Theme from Valley of | |
| | the Dolls." | |
