Self titled second album from the British blues-rock group Free. Although this was not a success commercially, the following year they would make their big breakthrough with a stupendous classic rock single.

“Coming sandwiched between their hard rocking bluesy debut and their big breakthrough, Free's second album may very well be their masterpiece, too often dwarfed by its more famous follow up. Free finds the band at it's most musically eclectic and also at their most introspective.”

“If you're interested in British blues-rock this record by Free should be on top of your list. In spite of the small line-up, guitars, bass, drums and vocals, the music is varied and the moods diverse. The record still sounds surprisingly fresh.”

“A great and flawless blues rock album which stays heavy, brooding and catchy. Possibly their finest release.”

“The group enriches the solid blues of their first album with funkier rhythms, tighter arrangements, some lovely, atmospheric acoustic guitar, as well as a more lived-in approach to songwriting. While it’s solid from start to finish, the standouts are Trouble On Double Time and Free Me, which show off different dimensions of the group’s uniquely restrained approach to the blues rock of the day.” ,p> “Free had a musical talent and lyrical depth beyond their years and the first three albums show them at their best. This self titled second release is right in the groove and reminds us of a time when rock music took its blues influences seriously. Paul Rodgers big, soul textured voice sounded great with Paul Kossoff's ringing, clear as a bell guitar notes.”

“What a record! From blues-rock to psychedelic instrumentals Free really have it down on this album. The highlights for me are Paul Kossoff's spectacular guitar (electric and acoustic) and Paul Rodger's voice (somewhere between early Rod Stewart and Robert Plant). It is my favourite due to its soulfulness and inspired earthy integrity. In my opinion, this is just a totally flawless album.”
