Andy Fraser Band - Andy Fraser Band (1975)

It is as bass player with Free that Andy Fraser is understandably and rightly best known. Perhaps less well known by many is his significant songwriting partnership with Paul Rodgers, producing and co-writing, for example, theirs and one of the world's biggest rock hits 'All Right Now', but also so many more outstanding Free numbers, many on their first great album 'Tons of Sobs'.

In 1975, Fraser released two albums as the Andy Fraser Band, the first eponymously and the second titled 'In Your Eyes'. It is this first release that is excellent. The songwriting, not surprisingly, is superb and without doubt reflects the signature Free sound of which he was so instrumental.

C'est en tant que bassiste du groupe Free que Andy Fraser est le plus et le mieux connu. Peut-être moins connu par beaucoup est son partenariat significatif avec Paul Rodgers, produisant et co-écrivant, par exemple, l'un de leur plus grands succès mondiaux du rock 'All Right Now', mais aussi beaucoup plus de d'autres morceaux de Free notamment sur leur premier grand album 'Tons of Sobs'.

En 1975, Fraser sort deux albums comme le Andy Fraser Band, le premier éponyme et le second intitulé «In Your Eyes». C'est cette première version qui est excellente. L'écriture, sans surprise, est superbe et reflète sans doute la signature Free sound dont il était si instrumental.
