Everything's Gonna Be Alright' is a solid piece of work and a lot of fun. The release smartly spotlights Freeman's vocal abilities. She is definitely an exceptional singer with a rich, textured, soulful cadence in her voice. There is a haunted, slightly understated sense of intensity hiding in those vocals. It puts Freeman out there in a class all by herself and really engages the listener.
Revival blues is a tough craft to master.
One has to recreate some of the magic that made the classic blues classic, but one also has to put one's own mark on the music lest it just becomes a pastisch. And Linda Freeman doesn't strain herself to sing blues. She reminds one of both Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams, she gives the material shape more than gets snared by it. That way the blues becomes forever contemporary, or eternal. When she sings the blues, Freeman does not fool around.
