Back Street Crawler
uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, July 1975
WHEN Free finally fell apart at the seams after staggering around in various forms, there was a lot of damage done to the members. Despite the fairly quick birth of Bad Company which took care of Simon Kirke and Paul Rodgers, both Andy Fraser and Paul Kossoff were in the wilderness for a while. Fraser is back now with his own band but it's taken Koss just that little bit longer.
