Bonnie Tyler Album: “Free Spirit”

After enjoying Bonnie Tyler's previous work, I was lucky to find this rare album. When I listened to this, I realized that Bonnie has not lost one bit of her magic. Her voice has somewhat become deeper with age, but that suits these tracks perfectly. Her voice has deep emotion and passion. The songs are mostly ballads with her usual "pop-rock" style. "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" reminds me of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." And some rock songs such as "Driving Me Wild" is reminiscent to "Hide Your Heart." Overall, I would highly recommend this to rock fans, or a Bonnie Tyler fan. It's a shame that her albums are hardly recognized here in the United States, because she is just as good as back in the days of "Faster Than the Speed of Night."

This is a pretty good album, even though it lacks the sound that really launched her career in the 80s. I think it should have more piano sounds than synthesizers. I must say however that (making love) Out of Nothing at All is a great song by Air Supply, but Bonnie's voice is far more powerful in my opinion. It is the extended version and boy is it ever worth it. Her take on "2 out of 3 ain't bad" sends her in a new direction. I found that meat Loaf's version was great, but this upbeat one is just as good. It gives it a new life. In my opinion, a great album for the 90s. Her best 90s album!

I really enjoy two cover versions on this album. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is emotional but not over wrought. "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" is just as or even more powerful than Air Supply's version.

The loyal fans of Bonnie Tyler will love this comback album. It is either loved or hated, I am one who felt this album is grest to add to your collection. She returned to her old form and NOT the one hit wonder with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" that she had been labled by her rivals.

Bonnie Tyler has an extraordinary voice. This album is not for everyone, in this album she experiments by showcasing her vocal talents in various ways. I think you'd have to be a true fan in order to appreciate it.
