DORI FREEMAN - LETTERS NEVER READ 2017 - Free Dirt Records Hailing from Galax, Virginia this is Dori Freeman's 'difficult second album' and follows on from 2016's excellent self titled debut. Pulling her region’s past into the present, Freeman stuns. On Every Single Star, Freeman continues this healing process, but still draws from the frustrations from her history to make a record that touches many moods, and still feels inspired despite the cessation of her. Teasing at the crooked lines between love and antipathy, adoration and loneliness, Freeman’s tunes are ageless reminders that our emotions are complicated, whether shared in a suave pop purr or an old-time a cappella lament. Her second record Letters Never Read was a bit more hopeful, building in notions of finding new love, and getting over old troubles. But on two spellbinding albums, including 2017’s stunning Letters Never Read, Freeman has integrated the lessons of American torch singers, British folk songwriters, and contemporary standard-bearers such as Aimee Mann and Rufus Wainwright into Blue Ridge bedrock. She still tames those old tunes, framing their complicated feelings with her pellucid, empathetic voice. Letters Never Read by Dori Freeman supported by more.
