Since this little website is named after this song, I reckon I'd better make it the first song I review, right? It makes sense, too, because Free Harmony is one of those "statement of purpose" songs some bands have that encapsulates some their best qualities: in this case, an effortlessly flowing melody and arrangement, earnestly spiritual lyric, heartfelt performance, and Mike's elegant mandolin part.
