CD Reviews

It's a Classic
06/14/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some people have no idea when it comes to critical analysis of music!...(Having read the other reviews).Free is really the best album for mood and temperment that you can listen to from the Free collection.
It is my favorite due to it's soulfullness and inspired earthy integrity.
Every track has unique colors and flavors that carry the music to a beautifull world, a world that only Free could create.
I love and respect the quality and musicianship of this CD.
Both thumbs up!! It's a Classic."
A penultimate classic

"What a great album! The remastering certainly breathes life into this classic album and the liner notes which come with the CD are also most informative.

What interests me most about this album is that it was the one before the 'big one' - Fire and Water. The band have their first album under their belt and were gigging heavily. According to the liner notes the album was produced under strained conditions but it doesn't show - Outstanding tracks: the riffiness of 'I'll be creepin'; the jaunty punch of Fraser's bass in 'Songs of Yesterday' and 'Trouble on Double Time' are excellent. Kossoff's playing shines in the bluesy track 'Woman' and the album finishes with the ethereal 'Morning Sad Morning'... Rogers' voice is outstanding, and Kirke's drumming is impeccable...

The bonus tracks are great but I would have like to have seen more new material like 'Sugar for Mr Morrison' rather than alternatives of songs we already know.

An album certainly worth having... but play it when you're in a suitable mood!"
I got a burning heart...

"The second album from Free, epononymous was released about six months after their debut, though the latter was later than was ready so a complete year's difference can be heard in the band's sound. The fragile chemistry which would later doom Free was showing signs during the sessions for `Free' and it was only through the intervention of Chris Blackwell, who produced it, that the band didn't fall apart so early in the game. Andy and Paul Rodgers had formed into a cohesive song writing partnership which demanded discipline in their band mates playing which did not suite Paul Kossoff whose vibrato and fluid soloing was built on improvisation and his confidence suffered. All of this didn't apparently hurt the quality of the record, it is a gem! Not better than the debut, just different, more soulful. "Songs of Yesterday" and "Woman" are true giants in blues rock as the latter became a showcase for the greatest singer of the genre. Rodgers is huge in this LP and Fraser's bass playing made strides as he played in more of a rhythm guitar style ("I'll Be Creepin'" is the epitome of this), obviously to fit his own compositions. Speaking of soul, "Trouble on Double Time" seems to channel Stevie Wonder, yet it still rocks! The slow songs are much slower than on `Sobs' and the final track is almost dirge like and depressing, but still very good. Why this record is not considered a classic is anyone's guess but if you love blues rock of superior quality, `Free' should be near the top of your list. Soulful, intense and mourning...sad mourning."
