Mes Amis (my friends) is Mark’s fourth album and has a sonic texture ranging from old-time to jazz. It takes the listener on an introspective, moving and dynamic voyage, one that’s very reflective of Mark and his journey.

Cold Feet

Under the Tree Studios

Produced by Bill Lestock

Recorded and mixed by Bill Lestock

Mastered by Thomas Bethel, Acoustik Music Ltd.

In his first CD, Freeman writes of the fear of three black men during the last US lynching in Marion, IL, about a mother’s feelings as she gives up her son for adoption, and the confusion of a soldier lost in the desert during the Spanish-American war.

“Mark Freeman is not the black soldier who chased Poncho Villa all over Mexico, nor is he a third-generation Irish stone-cutter with too much dust in his lungs…Listen to the songs that he sings, and you’d swear that he’s got some spooky spiritual channel that only he can hear…The husky-voiced Freeman has a knack for writing stories of love, sorrow and adventure.” -Scene Magazine
