Free: Paul Rodgers
Jim Irvin, unpublished, 1997
THIS INTERVIEW coincided with Paul Rodgers' 1997 album, Now, his first set of original material since Cut Loose in 1983. It was conducted in a Thai restaurant in Foley Street, London. I can't recall why the projected feature never happened, maybe because there was very little heat around the album, which was actually pretty good.
