Highway was recorded just three months after Free scored the career-redefining hit "Alright Now,"
and while their profile was at a career-topping high, their morale was heading toward an all-time low.
Guitarist Paul Kossoff was reeling from the death of friend Jimi Hendrix; a new single, "The Stealer"
-- the follow-up to The Hit -- bellyflopped ignominiously; and, when the album followed suit, the band
itself was not far behind. the strutting rockers "The Stealer" and "Ride on a Pony" alone shatter
the brave new mood, while reflective romancers like "Love You So" and "Be My Friend" could well have
been composed specifically to rid the band of the shadow of "Alright Now," and prove
that underneath the coolest exterior, there beat a heart of the molten gold...(AllMusic)
