free sprirt have been for 7 years and her voice gets better with age. this is a great cd for any body weather you are bonne tyler fan or not im a big bonnie tyler fan. . she rules and is the best and so is her music allie from port washigton usa.
raspy vocal
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" is emotional but not over wrought. I really enjoy two cover versions on this album. "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" is just as or even more powerful than Air Supply's version. .
A great attempt to a US comeback
When I listened to this, I realized that Bonnie has not lost one bit of her magic. After enjoying Bonnie Tyler's previous work, I was lucky to find this rare album. Her voice has somewhat become deeper with age, but that suits these tracks perfectly. Her voice has deep emotion and passion. The songs are mostly ballads with her usual "pop-rock" style. "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" reminds me of "Total Eclipse of the Heart. " And some rock songs such as "Driving Me Wild" is reminiscent to "Hide Your Heart. " Overall, I would highly recommend this to rock fans, or a Bonnie Tyler fan. It's a shame that her albums are hardly recognized here in the United States, because she is just as good as back in the days of "Faster Than the Speed of Night. ".
Jim Steinman's other protegee
I dig that husky voice of hers and I just genuinely enjoy the songs she sings. It's a pity Bonnie Tyler fell off the face of the earth as far as this country's concerned.
Sure, this one wasn't one of her massive hit albums. But it still rules. I can't get enough of this one. What I really love is how there's so many different styles of music on this album. From pop ("Making Love," "Nothing to Do With Love") to elegant Broadway-ish ballads ("Forget Her") to straight-ahead, hard-charging metal ("Driving Me Wild") to disco (her cover of Meat Loaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"). Yet, somehow, despite this all-over-the-map approach, "Free Spirit" never once sounds like a mishmash. Everything's well done and every song fits. I'd almost go so far as to call this a perfect album.
What a great cd from The Godess Of Rock
Not to mention Bridge Over Troubled Water where Bonnie totally come into her own. This cd is absolutely faboulus with great songs like Limelight and Bonnie's touching rendition of Making Love Out Of Nothing At All which reduced me to tears and still does because it is so beautiful and defenately one of the best songs she ever recorded. I can not believe that due to the lack of promotion by East West records this album missed high placings in the charts. Both Making Love Out Of Nothing At All and Bridge Over Troubled Water had the potiential to achieve high placings in the European as well as the American Charts and East West totally missed the boat here and let Bonnie down big time. Shame on them!!!!!!!!
The only song I could have gone without is Sexual Device but everything else on this cd is fabulous and the cd is a total must for every serious Bonnie Tyler Fan.
