ROCK LEGENDS Series.
Free is indelible stamp on British rock music. Free remains a testament to one of Britains finest rock/blues bands and despite all that went on around its creation it is worthy of the name Free on the cover. In the pantheon of blues-rock there has never been a band that burned so brightly, was more commercially successful and made so much great music in so comparatively short a period of time as Free. Free is the far and away best Rock & Roll band. Paul Rodgers is one of the best rock voice in history. Hugely influential vocalist to anyone in the business today. Paul Kossoff died too young and never got the credit he deserved. They released so much great material in a short period of time, on par with The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. Andy Fraser another highly respected musician by his peers and a major influence on Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament and others. Simon Kirke, excellent drummer. 2007 release, part of Universal International's Rock Legends Series which features the finest tracks from the true legends that have helped to shape the past, present and future of Rock 'N' Roll. This collection from the British Blues Rockers features sixteen tracks.

Free, along with Led Zeppelin, the Jeff Beck Group and Cream, stood tall as the cornerstone of the storied, late-sixties British blues-rock movement. Fronted by soulful vocalist Paul Rodgers, Free's gritty sound separated the group from the competition. Paul Kossoff's fretboard work drives the upbeat "All Right Now", which was penned immediately following a frustrating gig in Durham, England. The hard-rockin' "All Right Now" pushed Free to international fame. With bassist Andy Fraser and Simon Kirke on drums, there was so much more to Free deftly delivered heartfelt mellow numbers, slow-burnin' blues, and hard-edged tracks. With a wealth of quality albums defining the group's ability to pen diverse songs, it was from the stage that served as the ultimate Free experience, where the group locked-in and delivered tight, jaw-dropping performances. The Free ride came to a halt following the Heartbreaker LP, but over the group's relatively short run, which lasted less than five years, the proud English group delivered the goods and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the greats from the British blues-rock boom. ROCK LEGENDS from Free is an excellent remastered collection of all of Free's essential singles/classics. The digipack is quite slick and contains a neat fold out which has a brief history by the legendary Malcolm Dome and Info on each track. "Alright Now", "Fire And Water", "The Hunter" and " Wishing Well" all burn brightly. Ideal for the beginner and very pleasurable for the educated fan. Buy It!
