A comp CD of my favorite Free songs taken from the “Songs of Yesterday” box set.

They were so much more than “All Right Now” and Paul Kossoff so under appreciated.

Totally agree. That's not even close to my favorite Free song. Almost everything you read about Paul is that his vices got in-between his craft and relationships. Heard he was hard to work with and the creative process of making music was hard to do with him.

Got into the “Fire and Water” album when it came out and “All Right Now” was the song that hooked me. As I went backwards and bought “Tons of Sob” and the 2nd album, I liked the older stuff more. It almost pains me to listen to “Alright” when it comes on since it’s not really what the band was like.

And yes, as talented as PK was, his vices and personality (…because of the vices?…) just made it too hard to work with him.

LOVED that album too. "Oh, I Wept" is my top track off that. So much raw emotion on it. I've posted that song here before.

For some reason, you never struck me as a Dio fan. 🤔

Never was, but then a few months ago I heard Rainbow in the Dark on the car radio and checked the internet as to who did the recording then a couple of weeks ago that same song was on the radio again. I couldn't remember who did it, so I went over to you tube and found it and played it and there began my Dio trip.
Dio's front man, Ronnie James, also was with Black Sabbath for a while among other groups. I must not have paid attention to music as much in the heavy metal era. With 4 kids in the house my volume control was somewhat turned town or muted. Try some of their stuff on you tube - you might like some of it.
