His latest album, a mixed bag of spirituals and lazy, porch-derived ballads, shows off his chilling bass singing qualities; it originally was recorded for Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch\u2019s Dead Reckoning label and features the Bluebloods backing him. Anyone enamored of the\u00a0<em>O Brother Where Art Thou<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack, which included Freeman, should enjoy these traditional gospel classics, all of them in the public domain. Freeman updates such staples as \u201cDon\u2019t Drive Your Children Away\u201d and \u201cLord I Want to Help You\u201d and manipulates his bass to full extent. Fans of the Canton Spirituals, Fred Hammond or even John P. Kee will find great reward here. Hallelujah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(SN&amp;R)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the same label that brought you a glorious Hank Williams tribute, Robert Earl Keen and the latest Willie Nelson comes this proper re-release from Isaac Freeman, aka Dickie, a member of the sadly defunct Fairfield Four gospel group.
