Albums
Free Life

Free Life is Dan Wilson’s first solo, studio CD.

This is a note on the inside of the CD insert:

Over the years I’ve found the best way to find out about great new music is to speak to other musicians about what they are listening to. A couple of years ago Sheryl Crow asked if I’d ever heard of Dan Wilson. She said he had the most amazing voice and wrote the best songs. Some of the songs on Free Life were ones that I got to hear soon after that recommendation. I love those songs and others Dan has written since as much now as when I first heard them. There exists a purity and honesty in his work that is few and far between in today’s music. When I listen I feel like I’m witnessing a special moment in time and it takes me away.

I had the pleasure of sharing Dan’s music with The Dixie Chicks who loved it so much that they asked him to write with them. In all, 6 of the songs on The Dixie Chicks’ Grammy-winning Album of the Year were co-penned by Dan, including the first single “Not Ready To Make Nice” and the title track “Taking The Long Way Around.”

I would suggest listening to this when you have a quiet moment with no distractions and can let the music take you away. I hope it moves you as much as it does me.

Enjoy.

Peace,

Rick Rubin
