Free at Last: The Story of Free and Bad Company

Free at Last: The Story of Free and Bad Company by Rosen, Steven. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780946719372.

Rock journalist Steven Rosen goes way back with both bands — he once drove singer Paul Rodgers to an Elvis Presley concert in his Triumph Herald, and covered Bad Companys formation in Rolling Stone. One of the greatest rock outfits of the early seventies, Free peaked with the seminal hit "All Right Now". When Free disbanded, due amongst other things to Paul Kossoffs spiralling heroin addiction, Rodgers and Free drummer Simon Kirke combined with Mick Ralphs to form one of the seventies best-known supergroups — Bad Company. Steven Rosen has written major features and cover stories for virtually every important music magazine including Rolling Stone, Musician, Creem, Circus and Guitar Player
