Sam Ludeman kicks off the song in a soothing acoustic fashion, and all three vocalists (Ludeman, Sam Russell and Sarah De Bono) soar thanks to their glorious harmonies. It is a controlled and delicate vocal performance. They also personalize the opening lyrics to Australia, which is an added treat. They arranged it in the style of John Mayer.
More of their music videos are available on their official YouTube channel.
The Verdict
Overall, Sam Sam But Different delivers on the Tom Petty classic “Free Fallin’.” They sing with so much heart and passion, and they are both gifted musicians in their own right. They epitomize the best that the contemporary Australian music scene has to offer. Their music is infectious, and well worth more than a passing glance. Sarah De Bono is fabulous too. Hopefully, there will be more original songs to come from there in the neat future. This version of “Free Fallin'” garners an A rating.
