Best known as the driving force behind the legendary Crown of Thorns
self-titled debut album in 1994, Jean Beauvoir and Micki Free’s collective
credits read like a “who’s-who” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with a list of
collaborations that includes the likes of the Ramones, KISS, Debbie Harry, The
Pretenders, John Waite, Lionel Richie, N'Sync, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Bill
Wyman, Carlos Santana and Prince to name but a few. The duo both coincidentally moved back to LA in 2003 and re-connected.
They discussed joining forces again for a new project and after a few shows in
Europe in 2013, a deal with Frontiers was inked for a brand new album to be
recorded in 2014.
The result is “American Trash”, an album that shaped up as “the
continuation of the BEAUVOIR FREE sound as the writing team for the Crown of
Thorns debut,” explains Jean Beauvoir. “When we write together there really is
this magic. We know we want killer guitar riffs and major melodic chorus... and
this is what turns out in our songs, in Beauvoir Free style.”
All the new songs came out like "rocking-babies" in the
BEAUVOIR FREE fold. “…And all represent the sound only Jean and I create
together. The "inimitable" sound of BEAUVOIR FREE,” tells Micki Free.
