by Backroads Music/HeartbeatsRoad to Freedom is the fourth Wind Machine release, following the surprise hit, Rain Maiden. The group remains intact, with two dynamite guitarists sharing the leads in bringing Steve Mesple's compositions to their fullest form yet. The twelve tunes range from sweet, serene songs of love to blistering acoustic frenzies. Several tunes are tributes to various freedom fighters, both near and far, and the fervent feelings of the universal struggle for peace and justice are translated well through the music.
