A No. 49 slow-burner in the US, this number was not released as a single in the UK; however, it did form part of Free's rapidly-made fourth album, "Highway", and represented a good example of what they often wrote about - the free-and-easy loving culture, charming their conquests into bed after a 'pick-up' down town.
Written by the usual pairing of bassist Andy Fraser and singer Paul Rodgers, this had extra input from Paul Kossoff, though no stand-out guitar solo was to be had on this one (unusual for a Kossoff collaboration). The album was recorded extremely quickly in September 1970, following the band's success at the Isle of Wight Festival, but with a degree of calm and relaxation, coming as it did before Kossoff's well-documented decline through drugs et al.

Brilliant album: The Stealer; Ride On A Pony; Be My Friend... Not forgetting My Brother Jake which came out of the same sessions.
