Free were still more a roots Blues outfit when this was recorded. As a followup to Tons and Sobs, they were still on a journey to define their sound. They were not the rock outfit that would come to be defined, maybe against their wishes, by the later Fire and Water. This is the perfect recording to kick back with a brew and enjoy the vibes. Kudos to Island for the packaging and bonus tracks.

On a sunny day, morning or evening, summer or winter, I like to play 'Free', the second album by that band. It has a very laid-back, lazy, outdoors vibe, epitomised perhaps by 'Lying in the Sunshine' and 'Mouthful of Grass', but shared by every song on this excellent album: just check out the flute weaving through 'Mourning Sad Morning', or the swagger of the opening track, 'I'll Be Creeping'.
This is definitely one of the essential sunny day albums (if such a list exists).

Free's second LP was a more introspective affair than the blues-based "Tons of Sobs" which preceded it, and was recorded amidst inter-band turmoil which saw bassist Andy Fraser teaching Paul Kossoff his guitar parts, note-for-note. The songs here are uniformly excellent, and range from the mournful "Free Me" and the upbeat "Broad Daylight" to the languid "Lying in the Sunshine." Aside from the album itself, this reissued CD features another ten bonus cuts, including the rare B-sides "The Worm" and "Sugar for Mr. Morrison" alongside early versions of songs such as "Woman" and "Trouble on Double Time." Add the crystal-clear remastered sound quality, and you have a near-faultless disc, at a very reasonable price!

Free's finest hour.
As several of the previous reviews have stated 'Free' is a perfect soundtrack to a lazy summer day. This album takes me way back to my early teens, lots of happy memories. Read more

This is a seminal album
For some of (the most fortunate of) us this was a big chunk of sixties summers. Laid back and feeling so good about being alive. Read more
