Synopsis

Album Description
2008 digitally remastered two-fer featuring a pair of albums on one CD from the former member of Free: Andy Fraser Band and In Your Eyes (both originally released in 1975). Fraser broke from Free on two occasions: first in 1971, going on to form Toby. Then he rejoined Free early in 1972 but quit in July that same year. He teamed up with Chris Spedding to form Sharks, recording two albums for Island Records. With the folding of Sharks and after a brief period with Frankie Miller and Henry McCullough, Fraser created the Andy Fraser Band with Nick Judd (keyboards) and Kim Turner (drums), recording these two superb albums in 1975. 19 tracks. BGO.

Andy solos after breaking Free from Sharks!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"(Sorry about that header.) Andy Fraser, best known as bass player for Free/Sharks and composer of the rock anthem "All Right Now", released these two underrated albums in 1975/'76, and they have been next to impossible to find until now.Believe it or not, Fraser took much flak at the time for having the nerve to release a "rock" album with bass, drums and keyboards only. (Funny, no one ever questioned Emerson, Lake & Palmer's ability to "rock" with that same instrumental lineup!)In other words, it didn't sound much like Free...but in retrospect, the material has held up very well and the songwriting and musicianship are superb. Musicians will find Fraser's "lead bass" style interesting;some of the R&B/funk influenced grooves parallel the patented "Larry Graham" sound. Recommended for fans 70's Brit-rock."
