'Running Free', the second solo album from UB40's former frontman Ali Campbell is a reggae / soul / pop tour de force, featuring some legendary singers and musicians, plus the voice and songwriting excellence of Mr "Red Red Wine" himself.
As lead singer of UB40, Ali has sold over 60 million records world-wide and his ''Running Free'' album made a stunning debut at #9 in the UK Album Charts in late 2007.
The album is a mix of covers and originals which has been praised for its "warm" production (Ali Campbell self-produced) while the drum and bass production was handled by ... you guessed it ... Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
UK's HifI News proclaimed 'Running Free' as "Album Of The Month", stating "UB40's silver throated warbler has spiced up his second solo outing with guest vocals ... but even without them it would be easy to love".
