ALAN FREW – “Free To Be Strong and Free” (2025)
Like my previous review of Jim Cuddy’s “We Used to Be the Best of Friends“, this is more of a share than a review. Glass Tiger’s Alan Frew is voicing his love of Canada with his new song, “Free To Be Strong and Free”. Like Cuddy’s already-classic, this song evokes some of what we love about being Canadian. It is based on simple acoustic instrumentation, and features a nice middle section that you can’t call a guitar solo, but fills that gap.
As for Alan, he still sounds fabulous, even though it will soon be 40 years since hearing Glass Tiger’s debut. “This is Canada’s song, where my heart belongs,” he sings, and you can feel his passion. You will rarely find people who love their country so much as Canadians. Alan Frew was born in Scotland, and he has written songs about that, but make no mistake: he is Canadian.

Everything the Cheeto in Chief does keeps getting blocked by Federal judges, so I wouldn’t sweat getting annexed. That will not happen.

I sure hope so man. I will tell you that up here, the tension is palpable. People are ready to fight. But we make it clear – we love Americans, just not your leader.
