As evidenced on the album’s honky-tonkin’, Stones-imbued title track, ¡Let Freedom Ring! is a rollicking rock ‘n’ roll ride. “American Man” keeps the vibes kicking into high gear with a bright, bouncy piano and up-tempo backup vocals, while “What Can a Mother Do” shuffles forward with vibrato guitar and wistful fiddle as it tells a woeful family tale. And “Leave the Window Open” offers Americana weight, with dense tones and sinewy six-string lines below Prophet’s lonesome howl.
