Description:

Say the name Dan Wilson, and it might not inspire the immediate recognition deserved by a celebrated songwriter who has lent his fertile pen to the likes of the Dixie Chicks (who won the 2006 Song of the Year Grammy with Wilson's co-written "Not Ready to Make Nice"), Jason Mraz, and Mike Doughty, and who gets liner-note kudos from none other than authentic musical guru Rick Rubin. Yet Dan Wilson has definitely logged some miles that warrant respect, first laboring with Minneapolis's neo-psychedelic Trip Shakespeare, then leading rock trio Semisonic to a huge hit and Grammy nomination ("Closing Time"). Free Life marks his solo debut, and it's easy to see that despite admirable collaborations with other artists (guests like Sheryl Crow and the Jayhawks' Gary Louris pop up here and there on Free Life, further testament to Wilson's standing with peer rockers), he saved some of his best ideas for himself. In truth, there are nothing but love stories here, and Wilson's gift for rich and haunting melodies and open, direct lyrics make each song unique, each an intimate peek into the travails of modern infatuation and the occasional heartache. "Sugar," "All Kinds," and the exquisite "Honey Please" express an honest longing too often missing from post-millennium pop music, and the up-tempo title track is a beautiful construction, building from a quiet wisp of acoustic guitar to a lush conclusion. Dan Wilson's Free Life is a rocking and romantic set, and if you didn't know his name before, this record is a great way to get introduced. --Ben Heege

4Dan Wilson is One of the Best Songwriters of Our Age  Jan 19, 2009
Once again, Dan has produced an album full of memorable songs that get better every time you play them. I look forward to the next installment!

5Very nice  Nov 25, 2008
Great album. Very nicely done, with harmonious tunes that gives you a continous ride (with up's and down's) through the entire CD.

4Very good music, great voice  Oct 01, 2008
Although I only new one song at the time I ordered the album, I have to say that all songs are very very good.

4Beautiful voice, beautiful instrumentals  May 15, 2008
I picked this up on a whim, but I'm quickly falling in love with it. My favorite is "Babydoll." The background music is complex, and the lyrics are sweet. Fans of the Dixie Chicks will recognize the last song on this CD, which Wilson apparently wrote for them.

5Warning!  Apr 12, 2008
Warning: Free Life will get in your head and you will not be able to play anything else! Very rich multi layers of music will sing to your mind, body and soul. Dan Wilson has the most appealing voice and wonderful lyrics. He has a very unique and creative way of looking at life; he is very original. I had to google him and find out about him and could not believe that he wants to sound like Neil Young. As much as I loved Neil Young as a teenager (and listened to his albums exclusively at one point) I find Dan Wilson much more appealing, fresh and vibrant. I also had no idea he was in Semisonic - Closing Time was one of the few songs on the radio that appealed to me when I was driving my teenage kids/car pool around - it certainly took me back to my youth! If you are feeling stale and unspired about life and need a dose of something to rev you up again, buy this album . It will definitely energize your soul and maybe even make you fall in love again - at least with music and the person you used to be. It brings a freshness to your life and makes you view the people and world that surround you in a new light - or maybe it reawakens what was already there.
