CD Reviews

Time Away
My Shadow | Seattle | 05/01/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For any fan of Koss this a must. During the sessions for John Martyn's song 'May You Never', Koss and Martyn worked a number of grooves, they are sonic kindred spirits, and the fruits of one of those jams is 'Time Away'...The fluid jamming on 'Time Away' never falters. It is one of the most amazingly organic interplays between two guitarist I have heard. John Martyn provides Koss with the atmospherics to shimmer his way through a 38 minute jam that ends in the most exquisite extemporaneous jams recorded. Around the 19 minute mark Koss stings a single note that would have signaled the end of the jam, Martyn percolated another groove and Kirke and Tetsu work it, and Koss weaves his way in again, starts to feel another melodic direction, in around the 28 minute mark, you can hear the melody seethe from his axe, this all builds to the final 7 minutes that gave us 'Time Away' on the original album. All four of these musicians are having the blessing of being played by the music and we are lucky to have the tape running. I have loved this piece for 40 years and it is worth the wait to have the whole thing.



Get It.



RIP Koss.



and Thank You"

"Couldn't resist picking this up...The original vinyl spun many a spin on the old B&O turntable.Especially the 17:39 side long "Tuesday Morning" jam.So when this deluxe edition came out at triple the time of the original vinyl , I had to hear the working versions of what became the final version. Funny thing is , is the two aren't that dissimilar. Just a great , rockin' jam session. Everybody prepared their instruments , set the tape a-rollin' , and took off. Gotta admire the powers that be that released this. The market can't be all that huge for it. But if you looked up Paul Kossoff in the search , then you are probably already familiar with his huge talent , so put it in your basket now!"
Underappreciated classic

"a must have for any classic rock guitar fan. seriously one of the great records of the rock era. to me its better than any release by free its unhindered by the pop song format and paul rodgers great voice(pedestrian writing) this expanded edition contains a awesome disc with a huge jam on it which at over thirty minutes is one of the single greatest sessions i've ever heard."
