This CD was eagerly awaited by the growing (global) fanbase of When Rivers Meet, and none will be disappointed. It should also gain further admirers, especially when touring can start again. We Fly Free is an excellent debut full album and it augurs well for the band’s future. 12 original songs really demonstrate the vocal and instrumental prowess of both Grace and Aaron Bond, but it is their song-writing which, for me, particularly sets them apart. They could be the best composers of blues rock since Jagger and Richards. They have a good ear, and instinct, for what works for them and, while there is a WRM sound, all the songs have different sounds and influences. Aaron’s range of guitars includes a cigar box and Grace adds violin and resonator mandolin. Vocally they are outstanding; Grace has a beautiful and powerful voice and Aaron is not far behind, but together their harmonies are exceptional. They are joined variously on drums, bass and keys by Robin G Breeze and Adam Bowers. Adam also deserves high praise for his inventive production work. Overall a very fine album, but one health warning……don’t attempt to pick a favourite song, you won't be able to. It will be whichever one you happen to be listening to!! Enjoy.

The EPs were great, the weekly live Facebook shows made lockdown bare able, but I was worried that after all that, and the long wait, the album would probably be a bit disappointing - was I wrong!! It's not just an album it's an experience! I usually take a few listens to get into a new album, but after one play I was blown away! Can't wait to see it performed live, in a proper stage show. One question though - when's the next album coming????? 11/10
