{"product_id":"songs-of-free-men","title":"Songs of Free Men","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThere was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to \"Balm in Gilead,\" the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's \"I Still Suits Me\" or Gershwin's \"It Ain't Necessarily So\" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. \"Old Man River,\" though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed Distler\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000029YJ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000029YJ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paul Robeson Jr. \u0026amp; Lawrence Brown\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
