    I have suggested this song so many times that at this point I'm shocked someone is reacting to it. Paul Rodgers and that scathing vocal, Andy Fraser walking that bass, Simon Kirke keeping time, and, of course, that blistering guitar from Paul Kossoff equals spontaneous combustion. Unforgettable.

      I saw Paul Kossoff live 2 weeks before he died in a bar in Higanum CT, he did not look well BUT his guitar work was as sharp as ever, doing over 2 hours of his stuff and some Free songs, he killed it that night. We were not very shocked he had passed, knowing he had substance abuse issues. Great musician who self destructed.

    Great reaction to a great band doing a great song. As others have said, Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest voices in the history of rock: starring with Free, going into Bad Company and for a time replacing Freddy Mercury for a tour or two with Queen (which strangely worked in a way).
    I highly recommend doing more reactions from him and especially Free. Try out one of my favorite songs, the first I ever heard by Free:
    “Fire and Water”. While it has some water in it, it’s mostly fire!

    One of my favorite Free songs, It's just unfortunate that you didn't react to the live 1970 performance at the Isle of Wight Festival. It's a fantastic video and performance. One of the few instances where the live performance of a band was much more impactful than the audio. Great closeup camera work and you can also hear Paul Rodger's vocal is better (it's a little low in this mix imo.) And Paul Kossoff's guitar solo is absolutely mesmerizing to watch him in that performance. It's almost a life-changing experience to watch, lol. Seriously! I know both Jay and Amber would love seeing it.

    An amazing band. They were technically a "one-hit wonder", but they had a hugely immense influence on bands that followed them in the 70's. They laid down the template for superb soulful bluesy rock. Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, and Kansas were big fans. Three Dog Night and singers like Wilson Pickett covered their songs. And Free were so young when they did it, just out of their teens. They were a very short lived band. Were only around four years, but they left an impact for sure.

    Free are No2 in my all time favourite bands list, just pipped to No1 by Queen and just beating Mott The Hoople in 3rd.
    So much to say about Free. The lead singer Paul Rodgers is known simply as "The Voice". Went on to front Bad Company, had some solo projects including the sensational "Muddy Water Blues" album. More recently a brief fling with Brian May & Roger Taylor as Queen + Paul Rogers. They made a very underrated album and toured the world together. Paul Kossoff on lead guitar. Son of the actor David Kossoff he battled drug addiction for most of his professional career. He died on a flight between LA & New York in 1976 from a blood clot that moved from his leg to his lungs. Andy Fraser on base went on to do solo projects and had some solo chart success. Sadly he died in 2015 from complications arising from AIDS. Finally the big hitter Simon Kirke also a founding member of Bad Company also a member of Ringo Star and his all star band.
    Together these guys had a chemistry that is rare. They made some amazing music together. The album Fire & Water where this track & All Right Now came from is an absolute must for any fans of British Blues.
    Jay & Amber you need to check out the title track from the album Fire & Water. These guys were absolutely on fire for this album.
    Bad Company were originally Paul and Simon from Free, Mick Ralphs from Mott The Hoople (All The Young Dudes, All The Way From Memphis, Roll Away The Stone) and Boz Burrell of King Crimson.
    Please check out All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople.
    Please don't forget Status Quo "Caroline" from Download Festival or Glastonbury!

    This is what us " old timers " call a "deep cut". Some of the best music by classic rock bands back in the day got little to no air play. Thank God F.M. came along in the early 70's and introduced us to album oriented rock, ( AOR), radio stations that didn't care if a song lasted over 3 minutes. If you haven't already checked it out, listen to "Iron Butterfly" and their over 17 minute "Inna Gadda Davidda". That's one of the tracks that started it all.

    The answer to Amber's question is that a lot of white bands, in the the US and like Free in the UK, went deep with Black Blues, Soul and R n B as a connection to real emotion and expression. The co writer / bassist on this is Andy Fraser, of African / European descent and 18 at the time. In the UK these were kids born around the middle or end of WW 2 and tired of the stiff old standards and looking to express what they felt honestly. When you listen to Free, remember they were a big influence on Lynyrd Skynyrd. The " Doing Their Own Thing " on UK Granada TV is unbelievable. I hope you catch what the lyrics are about, a hard working man telling some rich jerk to stay away from his woman or he's gonna bury him. The version on Free Live is a beast.

    Just a few nights ago I was watching something on TV & heard this in the background..a barroom scene or something gritty & my ears perked up.
    This album was one of my favorites my Junior year in High School. Every song is great. Always considered Paul Rodgers one of Rock's best voices especially for Blues-rock.
    Loved him with Free even before Bad Company.

    The singer's name is Paul Rodgers, one of the greatest voices in English rock. After Free disbanded he and Free drummer Simon Kirke went on to form Bad Company. After Bad Company disbanded Paul formed the band The Firm with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in the 80's. Paul would then go on to front Queen in the 2000's.

    they were all in their early twenties or late teens when they recorded this.. Kossof was a great guitarist.. but, Andy Fraser's bass playing was something else.. what a band.. First band I ever saw live.. unfortunately after Fraser had left.. This is the soundtrack of when I first discovered music..this is a great track.. but, "Be my Friend ' 'My Brother Jake' 'Wishing Well' 'Fire and Water' and so many other tracks, deserve a listen too..

    Paul Kossoff the guitarist was in his own domain which separated him from most guitarists of the time, listening to you talk about that guitar section and how it made you feel is what he was all about, feel not explosive in your face blues like Led Zep at the time. Kossoff made his own sound fans and musicians alike recognize in a heartbeat.

    Glad you got to hear more of Free. All Right Now is an amazing song, but too many people only know that one Free song. Fantastic band all working together. Paul Rodgers is one of the best voices in rock. After Free he went on to Bad Company, The Firm and even Queen for a bit. He also has several solo albums including Muddy Water blues from 1993. Please react to the title track. There is the acoustic version to start the album and the electric to finish it. Fire And Water would be a good Free song to do next.
