it's my favourite Free album...even better than "Highway" ...mr Bundrick ...i mean Rabbit was essential in this last Free album... i've heard his 1977 album with Crawler... and it's such a great record... i just try to imagine if... Free did not split up with Rabbit still in the band in 74 with the "Japanese" Free rythmic section and well a new guitarist... maybe even Ralphs (why not!?)... it was destined to do some classics ... musically closer to an hypothetical Free than Bad Company
a lot of people missed out seeing one note koss, as he was known for his prolonged note on the title track Fire and Water, its a must to listen to.miss you free, bad co,peace and the firm.seen you all.
imagine clapton or page playing that solo?no fucking chance!koss=best british guitarist ever ps who's messed with the solo on this version? they should be shot
Really Great!!! Sure can tell though how 'Rodgers" continued on soon after with 'Bad Co,' without barely skippin a beat (so to speak). I hear it all over this tune. Thx.
Paul Kossof plays guitar on Come togheter in the morning, Heartbreaker, Travellin in style, Common Mortal man and Seven Angels according to the credits on the back cover of the Heartbreaker album. Snuffy plays guitar on Easy on my soul.
@Andreagear4 Free will always be the best band ever! but checkout tonsofsobsnaomi and I guarantee that you will think Koss has returned. the guitarist is superb. To begin with just listen to their version of The Hunter you will not be dissappointed. yes they are japanese but they also love Free
Great track...Rodgers is superb ..great solo at the end by Kossoff..ironically,one of the few bits of his playing they kept in the album..He was so far gone with the drugs they cut out most of his stuff out (Rodgers played most of the guitar on the album)
Thanks for posting this. I used to play this to death in the Pool Hayes Comp 6th form common room in 1973/74. In my opinion, it was the best thing that Free ever did. So slow and moody...
My Dad died in 1981 when I was @ Uni - I played the Best of Free constantly for weeks after and especially this track. I never saw them live - so wish I had.
yes this is that rare coming together of an iconic band, ie,beatles,badfinger,just to name two, but take it from me,badfinger are only just at the,starting grid,because they have that special ingredient,natural talent, that eventually even overrides bent bastards like stan polley,
There are numerous great guitarists past and present and to argue who was the best is futile we all have our own tastes and our own favourites..my favourite is Paul Kossoff..so much feel straight form his heart to his fingers God bless him.
have seen so many bands but really wish I had seen Free, One of my all-time favourites!

Possibly the best solo ever. This song is in a league of its own.

hum... this solo didnt make me feel too much... before listening this i was waiting for a solo like the one in "hey joe" or something like that...
