Dori Freeman (from the album Every Single Star available on Blue Hens Music)
Dori Freeman is charming; a Folkie with subtle country leanings in her music, and soaking up homegrown music from her home in the Bluegrass hot-bed of Galax, Virginia. Dori Freeman is a songwriter who can lay it all out; she’ll paint a vivid picture whether singing a sentimental song of family or a love song that is aching and flat out weepy. Her latest release, Every Single Star, is loaded with AM Gold charm while hinting at 1970’s country rock. Every Single Star is a record that feels good as much as it sounds good.
“That’s How I Feel” proves Dori Freeman has a knack for clever wordplay. It is a love song that details being away from your partner, comparing that loneliness to being ‘one shoe on the side of the road’ or ‘one can in the back of the fridge’.
“Like I Do” has a 60’s sunshine melody underneath a beautiful song about parenting, stating ‘nobody’s gonna love you like I do, ‘til I had a little baby, I never knew that I could love someone like I love you’. The song speaks a sentiment felt and stated by every parent that ever decided to raise a kid. Once again working with producer Teddy Thompson, “Walls of Me and You” shows an ability to arrange, the arrangement’s fiddles and guitar fills placed with careful perfection. “2 Step” is the most country cut of the bunch, with Thompson joining Freeman on a 1970’s country inspired duet.  Lines like ‘Margarita’s deep enough to fill a sink’ leaves a lot to the imagination as to what came next. Like your friend rehashing last night’s exploits, Dori Freeman tells a good tale, and does so with vivid and melodic detail.
