Music reviews of Free at Last
Music Review: Penultimate album by Free has its moments
Rating: 3 Stars
Free broke up. The band decided to try one last time for the sake of their guitarist Paul Kossoff who was spiraling into drug addiction. Songwriters Andy Fraser and Paul Rodgers decided to put their disagreements and differences aside to try and save their friend.
The big songs here were "Catch A Train" and "Little Bit of Love" but there's other material that holds its own with their best particularly Rodgers' "Guardian of the Universe".
The sound quality could be better. This doesn't sound bad its just that there is No Noise applied which softens the detail of the music and deadens it somewhat. For a newer master (it was remastered in 2001) it doesn't sound bad it could just sound so much better.
Bonus tracks are the reason to get this. We get "Burnin'(Molten Gold)" in an alternate mix that curiously fades in at the beginning. We also get a jam of the band on "Honky Tonk Woman" which really should have been released its such a unique take. The rest are alternate mixes except for a solo performance of "Guardian of the Universe" with Paul Rodgers.
There really aren't any undiscovered "new" songs here aside from the cover of "HTW".
Free would soldier on without Fraser (who left to form his band The Sharks with guitarist Chris Spedding)for one more album and tour before the band fractured yet again for the second and final time. Fraser would go on to record four solo albums and work as a writer for other artists (he wrote "Every Kinda People" which Robert Palmer turned into a huge hit). Rodgers and Kirke went on to form Bad Company. Kossoff eventually died on a plane flight from a heart attack as he continued to flirt with death using drugs.
By the way "Heartbreaker" the band's final album is well worth picking up as well.
