Editorial review
If Brian Gari's previous album, Love Online, was about a couple that met together on the net and tried to make it work, I Can't Make You Free is the story of a love affair that divides a marriage in two. Gari's trick, which is quite clever, is to divide the album in two -- the first half told by the man who falls in love with a married woman, the second by the husband, with the fulcrum of the album, "Two Men," sung by Alison Fraser, in the character of the wife. As such, I Can't Make You Free winds up being a fairly ambitious work, and it's to his credit (as well as his collaborator, producer/arranger/engineer Jeff Olmsted) as a craftsman that it works quite well. Much of the record is firmly in a soft-rock, singer/songwriter tradition, yet it carries the distinct influence of Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson, which gives the album a lushness even when the tracks aren't overly dressed. Gari also is nimble in varying the sound, dabbling in jazz, classic vocal pop, epic pop/rock, and stark, piano-based ballads. The music has as much of a narrative thrust as the story itself, which helps make the entire album compelling and a unique feat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
This is the long awaited follow up to LOVE ONLINE.
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE calls the album 'a tunefulness throughout'...Gari's songs don't envelop the listener in self-pity and at times offer memories of a more pleasant past. Vocalist Alison Fraser has a solo with touching sweetness on "Two Men."
ALAN COLMES/Hannity & Colmes Fox News Channel.
It is gratifying to see someone whose work you admire get better with each new release. Brian's haunting melodies and precicely-worded phrases stay with me long after even one listen to songs like "Limited Time" and "That Car." Like fine wine, Brian's music gets better with age, and each new work shows greater depth and more intriguing nuances. I hope that more people learn of his music and that he gains the recognition his music deserves.
