It’s as if Sam Weber didn’t so much construct Get Free as deconstruct it. In the process, he has made it an almost perfect collection of folk music that seems to play against all the rules. Which is what makes it an album worth hearing.
Exposed and honest, Weber has regrets but no apologies for who he is, for what drives him, for the heartache in his wake, in the search of making the music in his head. It’s a high price, but this album repays every wounded moment in full.
