Our Take

Ken Whiteley's latest offering, "Freedom Blues," is a delightful romp through the world of blues and folk music. The album opens with a toe-tapping rendition of "Rolling and Tumbling," setting the tone for a whirlwind journey of soulful melodies and foot-stomping rhythms.

Whiteley's gravelly vocals add a touch of authenticity to each track, making you feel like you're sitting in a smoky bar listening to a seasoned bluesman pour his heart out. The wailing harmonica solos on tracks like "Key to the Highway" will have you reaching for your air guitar in no time.

But it's not all about the blues on this album. Whiteley also sprinkles in some heartfelt folk tunes like "I'll Fly Away," showcasing his versatility as a musician. The gospel-inspired harmonies on this track will have you swaying and singing along in no time.

Overall, "Freedom Blues" is a testament to Ken Whiteley's impressive musical prowess. Whether you're a die-hard blues fan or just looking for something new to add to your playlist, this album is sure to tick all the boxes. So grab a drink, sit back, and let Ken Whiteley's infectious melodies wash over you. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Ken Whiteley

KEN WHITELEY: The Folk Hero You Didn't Know You Needed With a career spanning over 40 years, KEN WHITELEY is a musical chameleon, effortlessly blending folk, blues, gospel, and roots music into a sound uniquely his own. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, this multi-instrumentalist has worked with a who's who of the music industry, from Bob Dylan to Aretha Franklin, and has produced over 140 albums for artists ranging from The Blind Boys of Alabama to Justin Bieber (yes, you read that right). But don't let his impressive resume fool you - KEN WHITELEY is not your typical music industry heavyweight. With his trademark long hair and bushy beard, he looks more like a friendly neighbourhood hippie than a seasoned pro. And his down-to-earth charm is evident in every note he plays, whether he's singing about love, loss, or his latest adventure in vegan baking. But don't let his easy-going nature fool you - KEN WHITELEY is a force to be reckoned with on stage. His live performances are a masterclass in musical virtuosity, with him effortlessly switching between guitar, mandolin, banjo, and harmonica like it's nothing. And his soulful, raspy voice can bring even the toughest critic to tears. So if you're looking for a music artist who's equal parts talent and humility, look no further than KEN WHITELEY. He may not have the flashy persona of some of his contemporaries, but when it comes to pure, unadulterated folk music, he's in a league of his own. Give his music a listen - you won't be disappointed.
