  31.  
  32. Outside of Philadelphia I was born and raised, and in the playground I spent
  33. quite a few of my younger days. At the time I had a preference for brunettes but
  34. years pass and we change. When my tendencies turned toward blondes I began to
  35. hear the call of the big rotten apple and at eighteen, away I went. Gone were
  36. the lonely, sweaty summer nights of PA. The crickets were still crickenÆ but not
  37. in my ears. I was in New York and I was looking for action. Some crave love,
  38. some seek danger but I was on the hunt for open mics and not to bragùI found
  39. æem. In a section of the city once referred to as alphabet on the lower east
  40. side there lurks a lot of white guys with acoustic guitars. This minor mass of
  41. songsters would meet one, two and sometimes three times a week in the back of
  42. bars, smoking, drinking and sharing with each other our newest creations. It was
  43. there that I met some good friends and came of age beginning to play my own
  44. shows and tour.

  48. One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim's live shows is the
  49. sureness that one is always entering a genuine gospel-like musical experience
  50. full of little miracles. Be Set Free has captured this charisma and spirit -the
  51. "hold your heart" moments and "raise a drink" dance vibes shine throughout with
  52. lush string arrangements and the fine sonic talents of drummer Malachi DeLorenzo
  53. and new bassist Jeff Ratner. Langhorne's stronger than ever vocals lead the
  54. journey blending his poetry through the beautiful chaos and bearing a wisdom
  55. that reflects a broken heart battling the perils of true hope.
  56.  
  57. Be Set Free is Langhorne's most cinematic and cohesive effort to date. Slim has
  58. truly reached a point of light where these songs come from wide-eyed maturity
  59. and mastered craft.
  60.  
  61. Gut wrenching lyrics and gorgeous merry melodies-it would be easy to categorize
  62. it as folk, but this time-it's much more complex than just that slice of pie.
  63. Sweet hallelujah choruses bleed throughout tracks like "Land Of Dreams" and "Say
  64. Yes" and turn to the darkness of blues filled "I Love You, But Goodbye".
