'Absolutely Free' is the second album by The Mothers Of Invention, led by Frank Zappa. A continuation of the first release, the double LP 'Freak Out!,' 'Absolutely Free' is once again a madhouse display of increasing musical technicality and severe, acerbic political-bashing wit. Like the first album, almost every genre under the sun can be found either being used and performed expertly or being barbed at and musically diembowled by the outsatnding performers of the Mothers aggrate. Speaking of which, several new members joined the group including sax-player Bunk Gardner and keyboardist Don Preston.
