All the while, Freedy toured with such artists as Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin, Soul Asylum, The Lemonheads, Matthew Sweet and Cowboy Junkies, among others. On Blue Days, Black Nights , Freedy turns the volume back down again, with exquisite, delicate melodies and gentle arrangements recorded almost entirely live in the studio. The songs shine light into life's darker corners, deftly illuminating small but profound moments of loneliness, hurt, alienation and stark clarity. I know I write about those things often, but you've got to do what's in you. My favorite record is Frank Sinatra's Only The Only , which has the same theme.

You feel great afterwards. As always, Freedy has given his intricate vignettes stunning emotional detail, reaching us in a way few songwriters can. While I wait for you. In the past, Freedy often left blanks in his songs, encouraging different interpretations of the stories themselves. On Blue Days, Black Nights , however, the scenarios are quite concrete.
