It just gets better and better!, 23 Jan 2006

There is not one possible reason why you wouldn't want this album. Every single track on it is superb. Let's have a look...Over the Green Hills is a clever lead-in, very melodic, that makes you aware something great is coming, but the swirling, scorching intro of Worry catches you totally off guard. Walk In My Shadow is a grooving, swaggering track, with Fraser's bass providing the rhythm, and Kossoff's guitar playing a clever lead throughout the song (also later covered by guitar hero Leslie West). Very effective. Wild Indian Woman and I'm a Mover follow suit - driving, grinding. Goin' Down Slow and Moonshine are slower, more traditional blues songs, but still great. Perhaps the best song on the album is their rendition of the Hunter. Koss' guitar is exceptional. It's funny how the more you listen to something, the more you hear. When I first heard Free, I was captivated by Rodgers' soulful vocals. Then it was Kossoff's expressive, impassioned guitar. With skills like these, it would be easy for Andy Fraser's bass playing to be overshadowed, but not so - he's far too talented for that. It's only now that I've become aware of just how great a drummer Simon Kirke is. I don't know much about drumming, but he's so forceful, and always creating interesting rhythms and fills. Clever fellas. If you're still reading, stop now, and buy this album!
