Back Street Crawler - 2nd Street (2004)

Koss's swansong and the last time we had any new original music from one of the greatest guitarists of all time. In many ways a sad album, as Koss was already dead, at the ridiculously young age of 25, when this was released. But Blue Soul, Some Kind Of Happy and Leaves In The Wind are three personal favourites that easily make it onto any Best Of Koss compilation. The rest of the album is pretty damn good too. A very personal pleasure and essential listening for anyone even slightly intrigued by Free and their mercurial, genius, and sadly self-destructive, lead guitarist.
