All the music on this CD was recorded from live concert performances given September 9 and 10, 1998 at St. Norbert Arts and Cultural Centre, Manitoba, except for tracks 2 and 3.

Huskless!, captures Lori Freedman in some of her most recent sizzling live concert performances. The music runs an eclectic gamut of styles reflecting her dynamic stage presentations.

Freedman, recipient of the 1998 Freddie Stone Award for « demonstration of outstanding leadership, integrity and excellence in the area of contemporary music and jazz », has been described as both a « classical music renegade » and « one of Canada’s principal instrumental soloists. »

« With Huskless!, Freedman has captured the raw, naked energy of her international career as a creative performing musician. A consummate artist with inimitable style, Freedman « jumps out at you like the veins in her arms and neck, pouncing on the unsuspecting, a radiant energy yelping… the quintessential alliance between body and instrument… sinewy, reptilian, necessary. »
– Paul Steenhuisen, Canadian Composer
