Cry Freedom



CRY FREEDOM was founded 1970 at a rock festival in Nürnberg. Four musicians featuring Rudolf 'Rudi' Madsius (guitars and vocals) soon started touring all over in Germany - for example as the opening act for bands like Free, Eric Bourdon and The Rattles. After some time they happened to be confrontated with the decision to work as professionals and changes with the line-up occured as the consequence. Klaus Braun (drums) and Gerhard Billmann (keyboards) joined and together with Madsius they became the band's core further on also working with several brass players.


1976 they succeeded to release the first album named 'Volcano' - stylistically a straight jazz rock/fusion effort with a slight krautrock touch. The subsequent releases 'Sunny Day' (1979) and 'Nobody's Fool' (1980) however are described as more commercial jazz-funk and less inspired. All three albums have not been re-released on compact disc so far and the original vinyls are rare collector's items now. CRY FREEDOM split up 1983 and Madsius went on making music with other bands until today.
