Free-Tons Of Sobs (1969)

Free left behind an excellent legacy steeped in pure rock adorned with blues, quickly establishing themselves as one of the most legendary blues-rock bands in the world. Their debut album, "Tons of Sobs", arrived in early 1969, released on the Island label. It went somewhat unnoticed due to the relative immaturity of its members and compositions lacking originality. However, this group, composed of the young Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Paul Kossoff, and Andy Fraser (all barely eighteen years old), left us with a series of virtuosic songs that, despite a touch of compositional anarchy, deserve to be hailed as excellent examples of the quartet's instrumental talent. Experimental blues-rock tracks like "Worry", "Walk in My Shadow", "Wild Indian Woman", "Going Down Slow", and the brilliant "The Hunter" already showcased the promising talent of these early Free.
