Paul Kossoff Blue Soul Double Lp Gatefold + Booklet Nr Mint
His death in 1976 coming just three years after Free disbanded, it’s perhaps understandable that the majority of this collection of highlights from the career of one of the UK’s greatest rock guitarists should focus on the group with which he made his name. There’s no space for the ubiquitous All Right Now or Wishing Well, however, though the 10 Free tracks included are easily available on any number of reissues.
The more interesting material is, therefore, Kossoff’s session work, such as the testifying We Got Time by Carol Grimes’ blues-rockers Uncle Dog, or the grizzly soul of I Know Why The Sun Don’t Shine by The Rumbledown Band, featuring Frankie Miller on lead vocals. The greatest diversion from the core sound of Free comes in the shape of two distinctly poppy tracks he recorded with Jim Capaldi.
Kossoff’s only solo album, 1973’s Back Street Crawler, is represented by the slick I’m Ready, with Jess Roden on vocals, and Molten Gold, which sees all three of his Free colleagues lending a hand. What shines across all 17 tracks is Kossoff’s intuitive feel for his instrument, complementing some great voices without ever sledgehammering its way to the front of the mix.
Happy to answer any questions.
