RIP Andy Fraser #rock_on
This is just nuts. They are all very young but the music is very mature. It is so hard not to speed up for one thing. It is a weird construct - the guitar solo is as far from shredding as you can get, but it's so powerful & emotional. The guitar vibrato is echo'd by Andy's bass - & this track has a sort-of bass solo section too. It's fantastically realised - minimalist, controlled, relentless - yet charged with emotion & feeling. Each part - vocals, drums, guitar and bass interact, support, enhance & created a thing bigger than the sum of the parts. This is really original style music, & like nothing else at the time. It's not over egged with twiddly show-offyness, yet it is for listening rather than dancing. A true track of sublime quality. Please enjoy.

Back to my early days with this one.

Paul Rodgers is my favourite blues/rock singer. And Koss just makes the Les Paul cry. Backed by the brilliant Andy Fraser on bass & Simon Kirke on drums.
How I wish I could have seen them live. Just awesome.

It was a toss-up between this and I'll Be Creepin' but you just can't beat those trippy Beat Club visuals
