Album Review

Some would argue that a single-disc collection doesn't do Free much justice, and that even a single-disc collection merits more than 11 songs (though this CD really isn't that short, adding up to 46 minutes). Still, for those who want a heavy dose of Free, there are more than one multi-disc set available. This is a pretty good sample of their 1968-1973 output, focusing understandably most heavily on Fire and Water (the 1970 album with "All Right Now") but including at least a track from all of the LPs they put out during the period. Those familiar primarily with the single "All Right Now" might be surprised at how moody, sometimes even downbeat, much of this blues-rock is. While Free lacked the oomph of Led Zeppelin, they were at the same time more concise and seriously emotional than many such bands of the era, at least on the songs selected for this disc.

Customer Reviews

Don't Think, Feel...

This, as the other album review says, has nothing to do with comparisons, let alone to Led Zepplin. This is FREE. Great singing, great drums, great bass and Paul Kossoff. Kossoff left-hand vibrato is the stuff of legend. Clapton sought him out to find the secret. In a time of manufactured music, manufactured fame and little talent....this is a great place to start to find your way to some of the best music. Was good, Still is.

Unforgettable Rock and Roll

This cd is as good as they come. It unsettles me that the top six downloads of Free are "All Right Now''. I love that song, but there so much good music on this album that is easily as good. For me, it's all about "I'm a Mover'' and "Wishing Well". The opener is a simple, almost Hendrix-like blues tune where Paul is beggining to find his bad a*s voice. "Wishing Well" has a riff that rivals "All Right Now" and it's epic lyrics are beautiful. Worth the buy just for the end of the song where they jam to that riff like no one else could. "Fire and Water" is also awesome, and the rest of the album is top-rate blues rock. This laid the foundations for all the epic 70's bands that similarly rocked the world.

Brant

if you really like free there is another guy named brant bjork that sounds exactly like free. they are both really good.

Biography

Formed: 1968 in London, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s

Famed for their perennial "All Right Now," Free helped lay the foundations for the rise of hard rock, stripping the earthy sound of British blues down to its raw, minimalist core to pioneer a brand of proto-metal later popularized by 1970's superstars like Foreigner, Foghat and Bad Company. Free formed in London in 1968 when guitarist Paul Kossoff, then a member of the blues unit Black Cat Bones, was taken to see vocalist Paul Rodgers' group Brown Sugar by a friend, drummer Tom Mautner.
