Really, I am not a 'classic rock' fan at all. But this song rocks. I keep hearing it on the radio lately. Any other good Free songs?

    Get their album, "Fire and Water" (1970).

    I got their greatest hits not so long back. "oh I wept" and "Songs for Yesterday" are great songs. I think that their lead guitarist died.

    Wishing Well is another cool track
    die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
    waiting for your lids to close..
    but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
    Ironic that they go for the eyes first

    You need to buy the entire Free catalog.

    They are much deeper than "Alright Now".

    To get a real good feel for them and to listen to samples look them up on allmusic.com.

    Free split up and Paul Kossoff went solo before he died from a drugs overdose.
    Paul Rodgers and another member then formed Bad Company after the split.:)
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    After leaving Free, Kossoff released a solo album called Back Street Crawler, and toured with John Martyn. Kossoff died in 1976, of a drug-related heart attack. He was on a flight from LA to New York.

    My all-time favorite song. Rocks so hard, and just now getting into their other stuff and its awesome. They kinda sound like what Stillwater in Almost Famous wants to be. They seem to get forgotten when talking about early 70's rock bands which sucks.
