Freedom and Whiskey was originally formed in 2003 and released two prior albums. In 2007 the band changed their line up to include Mark as the new voice and front man for the band. Mark is a veteran musician who has played harmonica and sang with several blues and rock bands over the years. Up until this point Bill and Mike had been doing most of the writing, singing and guitar work, but the chemistry worked better for the band to perform with Mark as front man. Mike changed his focus to full time drummer and Bill went to the bass after the addition of Chuck as lead guitarist. The band started writing and recording new material together to have a good representation of the new line up. The music evolved even more and the band has just completed their third album titled “Super Real”. The style of this album is In Your Face, 100% Pure American Rock. Reviews of “Super Real” say it’s Freedom and Whiskey’s best yet. The 3rd album was released November of 2007.
In 2007 Freedom and Whiskey also released their first video for the song “Whiskey State of Mind” from their third album, available on their web site and on You Tube.

Ev'rybody dance now!
Ev'rybody, Here is the go.
Back with the pace.
My jam is live and I'm best and don't waste time
Off the mic with dope ryhme.
Jump to the rhythm, jump jump.
And I'm here to combine
Beats and lyrics to make you shake your pants.
Take a chance.
Come on and dance.
Guys, grab a girl.
Won't wait, make the twirl.
It's your world and I'm just a squirrel
Tryin' to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor
So your butts up, hands, in the air, come on say, Yeah.
Ev'rybody over here,
Ev'rybody over there,
The crowd is live enough for this fool.
Party people in the house move next in line
Groove. Work me all night.
Come on let's sweat, baby.
Let the music take control
Let the rhythm move you.
Sweat, sweat.

Let the rhythm move you.

On my command.
Now hit the dance floor.
It's gonna make you sweat till you bleed.
Is that dope enough indeed.
I paid the price to control the dice.
I'm more precise to the point I'm nice.
Let the music take control of your heart and soul
Unfold, your body is free and behold.
Dance till you can't dance, till you can't dance no more.
Get off the floor and get a blow.
Then come back and upside down,
Easy now let me see you move.
Next in line groove, work me all night.
The music is my life.
Ev'ry body dance now!
Ev'ry body dance now!
