"The Road"
The Road is a
concept album about relationships, addictions, and the struggles of
modern day life. The album starts out with a couple of hard-hitting
classic rock style tunes, lightens up with a few smoother blues
songs and then ascends back into high gear with Freedom and
Whiskey's signature southern rock finish.
The style of
music is a mix of modern / psychedelic / classic / southern rock and
blues. Throughout the album you will hear elements of their favorite
influences from their musical careers which include groups like Led
Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, AC/DC, Collective
Soul, Sound Garden and many more.
The band is:
Mike Huettig (formerly with "Days of The New")- drums and vocals,
Bill Goins-bass and vocals, Chuck Mingis (formerly with "Days of the
New")-lead guitar and Mark Hoekstra (formerly with “The Legendary
Blues Band (Muddy Waters)”, “Homesick James Williamson” and “Walter
Horton”)-harmonica and vocals
Freedom and Whiskey’s second album "THE ROAD" was written, recorded,
mixed and produced by Bill Goins and Mike Huettig in Jeffersonville,
Indiana 2006.
Freedom and Whiskey would like to thank their fans around the world.
