Fire and Water
by Free
The 378th greatest album of all time
Fire and Water (1970) blends blues rock and hard rock with concise, soulful songwriting and a warm, live-feeling production. Paul Rodgers' gritty, expressive vocals sit atop Paul Kossoff's sustained, vibrato-rich lead guitar and Andy Fraser's melodic bass work, while the band moves between driving blues-based rockers and more relaxed, reflective tunes. The album includes the song "All Right Now", which became the band's signature track and helped define their early sound.
