Tasty stuff, That piano on the Elmore James is dripping the blues,
Bit self indulgent this een. Possibly my favourite ever guitar solo.

Howlin Wolf did it but don't think he wrote the oridginal,
It was credited to Bunky Oden (sp?) and possibly a co-writer on the Tons Of Sobs label, as I recall. I think Koss hit peak Koss tone and emotion-wise in the short solo on Oh I Wept. Or the full-length The Stealer.
Edit: Spotify says that it’s James B Oden’s song. I’ll check the second pressing vinyl later when I dare to open the press in the tiny ‘spare’ room.

Every one of their albums has been my favourite at some time, although I still feel they phoned in Free At Last a little, even though online Free fans rate it among their best. Quite a bit of good quality live material’s come to light, and has been cleaned up. YouTube’s a goldmine.
