Paul Kossoff- KOSS- CD- 1977/2009- DJM Records/Private CD Production- 0222546436635- 400 grn
Paul Kossoff was one of the best blues guitarists of his time, with a unique and distinctive style. Unfortunately, he was also plagued by inner demons from an early age, which ultimately led to his passing from life at the age of 25. After Free first broke up in 1971, then got back together and finally split up in 1973, Paul Kossoff concentrated on a solo career. After a first solo album Back Street Crawler, which was recorded by session musicians and colleagues from Free, Kossoff introduced Mike Montgomery (piano), Terry Wilson-Slesser (vocals), Tony Braunagel (drums) and Terry Wilson (bass) formed a permanent band with whom he then recorded two more albums. But now to the present album KOSS, named after Paul's nickname, which was released for the first time about a year after his untimely death and offers an excellent showcase of his career. Of course only in bits and pieces. Free starts with “The Worm”, a song that was only released as a single B-side to “Songs Of Yesterday”. This is followed by the album version of the well-known A-side. "Mr. Big" from the Free Live record follows up, before "Time Away", a beautiful, melancholic - yes, almost crying - instrumental from the first Kossoff solo album streams through the speakers. So much for the better known pieces. Koss also worked as a session musician for other acts, although not excessively in terms of quantity. Proven here by the number "Hole In The Head", released on the album Mulgrave Street by Eddie Baird's folk rock band Amazing Blondel. He was also involved in two solo albums by Traffic drummer/singer Jim Capaldi. “You And Me” comes from these sessions, a beautiful ballad-like number that Capaldi never released for reasons don't understand. Another collaboration with Amazing Blondel is "You've Taken Hold Of Me". Then the transition to the band Back Street Crawler. And that's with absolute favorite on KOSS, namely "Molten Gold". The track was already featured on his first solo album, but was recorded by other musicians. However, this version is much better. Also previously unpublished. More studio gems follow in the form of the rockers “Sidekick To The Stars” and “Never Take Me Alive” before switching to the live front. The last four tracks come from a concert in Croydon, outside London, in 1975, which conclude this high-level tribute to the late musician. KOSS is THE optimal entry-level record to get acquainted with the music of this guitarist and especially his time after Free, or rather her to discover for yourself. From that point of view, an absolute recommendation! Paul ''Koss'' Kossoff had been heavily addicted to drugs since the early 1970s, which from then on only allowed him to work sporadically and was one of the reasons for the failure of Free and the sluggish career of Back Street Crawler. If you consider the class he already had in his younger years, his originality, then it's hard to imagine what else we could have expected if we had a healthy Paul. After all, we're talking about a man who Eric Clapton himself visited backstage after a concert and asked him to teach him how to use that incredibly awesome vibrato in his fingers. Unfortunately, Paul Kossoff couldn't get his life under control. After he could only be revived with the utmost effort after a violent heart attack in 1975, he finally succumbed to the consequences of another serious heart attack caused by hard drugs on 19th March 1976, while on tour in the US during a flight from New York to Los Angeles.
