5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better and better!, 23 Jan 2006
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of talent!, 9 Dec 2001
By "thomasbirch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Free's debut album, the blues-soaked "Tons of Sobs," shows that Fraser, Kossoff, Kirke, and Rodgers were right on the money from the start. Fiery originals like "Worry" and "I'm a Mover" jostle with standards such as "Goin' Down Slow" and more sombre material such as the bipartite "Over the Green Hills." This reissued CD features a further eight songs as bonus tracks, including unreleased numbers like "Visions of Hell" and "Guy Stevens Blues" and different versions of tracks like "Moonshine" and "Sweet Tooth." The excellent sound quality on this remastered disc is the icing on the cake, and makes this budget-priced release indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much overlooked classic, 21 Sep 2005
By Jonathan Clark "mickeytheginger" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As first albums goes this is as good as it gets. It came a year after the "definitive" Bealtes album Sgt Peppers which has had its fair share of plaudits but this album, in its own, way started to re-define rock music. It doesn't have ultra high production values which can sometimes mask a less than quality body of work. But it has an edge which is rarely seen and which marks out great albums. With 18 tracks to choose from there are some which don't quite hit the spot but there are some absolute stunners like I'm a Mover. As many recognise Paul Rogers vocals are a joy to behold and Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser and Simon Kirke remain grossly underrated talents. Play "Walk in my shadow", turn up the volume and - as they say in the USA - ENJOY
