'FreeLoveDays is full of tantalising images (love, beliefs, dreams), memorable characters (Mozart, Martin Luther King Jr, Frida Kahlo) and stimulatng music (folk, rock, blues, classical, choral). The wonderful Lin Van Hek provides vocal assistance . . . this album reveals sensitivity and a thinking mind. . . Joe Dolce's, FreeLoveDays CD, is immensely appealing and one of the best albums of the past year.' Sue Barrett, Rhythms Magazine
" . . . The effervescent Freelovedays bubbles over with glorious melodies and clever lyrics. While the eclectic collection of musical ideas resists categorisation, the evidence is that Dolce is born of that folk-blues tradition that flourished before John, Paul, George and Ringo changed the rules. Indeed, the title track feels a little like Dylan's My Back Pages, and Jack of Diamonds could easily have slipped off Blood on the Tracks. . . . the highlight is the barely orchestrated tribute to the Greek poetess Sappho - whose legendary work remains only in brief fragments. Dolce sings Fragment 64 accompanied by Miriam Morris's viola in a moment of unlikely beauty, not a million miles from William Orbit's Pieces in a Modern Style. " PETE BEST, THE SUNDAY HERALD
