1969 saw Free get their first shot at securing an American audience via an opening slot on Blind Faith's US tour. Dropping producer Guy Stevens in favor of Chris Blackwell, the cleverly titled "Free" wasn't a major change in musical direction from their TONS OF SOBS first album. With Andy Fraser and Paul Rodgers credited with penning all nine tracks (Simon Kirke and Paul Kossoff contributed to one song), the album continued to underscore their raw dynamic blues-rock ambitions. The leadoff track 'I'll Be Creepin'' started things off with a truly ominous and chilling effort - any woman hearing it might have thought twice about getting anywhere near these guys. From there it seldom let up. Material like 'Songs of Yesterday, 'Trouble On Double Time' and 'Woman' all served to spotlight the band's no-frills attack. Sure there were a couple of exceptions to their patented sound. The pretty acoustic ballads 'Lying In the Sunshine' and 'Mourning Say Morning' and the instrumental 'Mouthful of Grass' all demonstrated the group had more than one trick in their collective pockets. Powered by Rodgers rugged voice, Fraser's innovative bass, and Kossoff's tasty lead guitar there simply weren't many competitors who even came close to capturing the quartet's raw power. this, one of their BEST albums, will pleasantly surprise more than a few...check it out!
