Free were formed in 1968 towards the end of the British blues boom.
After two critically acclaimed albums, the release of 'All Right
Now' and the album Fire and Water in 1970 brought them major
success. Musical and personal differences took their toll and they
split after the comparative failure of their next album and single.
After starting new bands that never took off they reformed, but
following further dissension and guitarist Paul Kossoff's drug
problems they disbanded for good in 1973. Vocalist Paul Rodgers and
drummer Simon Kirke then formed Bad Company, who became one of the
hottest bands on both sides of the Atlantic, maintaining a stable
line-up with ex-Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and ex-King
Crimson bassist Boz Burrell for the rest of the decade. Each member
later pursued outside ventures, although they regrouped at
intervals, recruiting new members after Ralphs' retirement and
Burrell's death. This book examines both bands' work and career
from 1968 to 1980, plus the Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu, Rabbit album,
Kossoff's solo work and Back Street Crawler, with a chapter on
their later history, notably Rodgers' three years with Queen.
