Feel This Free
''Feel This Free'' is the fourth studio album by Australian musical artist, Beccy Cole. It was released in April 2005 and peaked at number 66 on the ARIA Charts. Upon release, Cole told Susan Jarvis of Capital News "We really planned this album, and it's turned out exactly the way we wanted. I had a lot to say, so there aren't so many humorous songs. If you listen to one of the tracks on the album, "The Clown Song", you’ll understand why. But the overall vibe of the album is incredibly positive." adding "The other thing we were determined to do was make an album that I could perform live. Every song can be done on stage – the album can be read as a set list, if I want. That hasn't been possible with my last couple of recordings, so I’m really enjoying that aspect of it." The album was re-released with three new tracks in May 2006. Background and release In 2004, Cole began work on ''Feel This Free''. In her 2015 autobiography, Cole said The album included songs that were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Because, after the jokes, stories and self-deprecating comments have people rolling in the aisles, she starts singing and her voice is spellbinding.” Early life Born a ...
