Album Of The Week

"This album is a must buy for any westcoast collector. Furthermore, such an amazing voice David still has! This review is posted while he’s still young, 79 years old. 1 day before his 80’s birthday! Wow!"

- Ola Gränshagen / Melodic Net -

"With his new album, 'For Free', David Crosby is, most definitely, back on form and living up to his reputation as a great purveyor of Californian music. Now it will be interesting to see what he does next!"

- Rick Bayles / Americana UK -

"David Crosby's late career purple patch continues."

- Paul Moody / Classic Rock -

"David Crosby's new album 'For Free' is a sublime album of music from a master of his craft and one who will go down in history as one of the true greats."

- Rory M Stanbridge / Fatea Magazine -

"In recent years David Crosby has been producing on a level at which that many artists half his age will never arrive. There is no way of knowing when this legend’s musical marathon will cease, but should the quality of the work be maintained at the level it has for the past 7 years, this listener’s fingers are crossed for at least another 7!"

- Cameron Gunnoe / Folking -

"David Crosby may be on the road to sunset, but he's still got work to do."

- David Fricke / MOJO -

"David Crosby's voice takes you flying back down the decades, yet without ever long for past glories, and the tip would be to listen to this one now, or you'll never never keep up with his prodigious output."

- Nick Dalton / Record Collector -

"'For Free' is a fine album that is sure to please David Crosby’s extensive fan base. The songs are remarkably concise. The jazzy leanings present in some of Crosby’s work are kept in reserve, seemingly content to add colour via the occasional injection of horns. Fittingly Crosby is front and centre, his remarkably well preserved voice perfect on a string of lovingly crafted songs, blessed with immaculate vocal arrangements, often over a bed of acoustic guitars."

- David Vousden / Red Guitar Music -

"This is a rare record that can be enjoyed equally whether you pay rapt attention or or let it lull you off to nap land."

- Mke Fornatale / Shindig!

"This is a set of songs that, in the space of an economical 40 minutes, crystallise everything that makes David Crosby such an alluring, vital and still relevant force."

- Terry Staunton / Uncut -

"David Crosby may have gone most of his way as a man and a musician, but 'For Free' doesn’t sound at all like a farewell, but rather like the next stage of an artist’s life, once again in full bloom in the face of the looming sunset."

- Thomas Splett / West Coast Soul -

"David Crosby has had a turbulent life with diseases, drugs problems and financial concerns, but the 80 years young legendary Californian keeps producing wonderful records. His recent release 'For Free' harbours 10 great songs of which the title track is a Joni Mitchell classic. Steely Dan founder Donald Fagen has written a new song especially for his friend. Also the vocal contributions of Michael McDonald and Sarah Jarosz on 2 songs deserve a special mentioning.“
