First Time Hearing FREE! "All Right Now" Vocal Analysis on the back of Bad Company's "Bad Company"

[@Cadinho93]

The cool thing about this band is that when they recorded this, they were all under age 20. When Free formed, Andy Frazier (bass) was 15 years old. Paul Kossoff (guitarist) was 18, Paul Rodgers (singer) and Simone Kirke (drummer) were 19. Also, Paul Rodgers is one of the best voices in rock history.

Oh man. This is such a great freaking song 10 out of 10. OK so they were still playing this song in clubs in the 80s. I will tell you specifically 1985 because I was 16 and was having the best night of my life. I met a guy. We danced for a couple of hours. He did not take me home to his place but he did take me to a hill about half a mile from the club. And we watched a meteor shower for two hours. Don’t even remember his name never saw him again.

Looks like he's accepted those prayers, this is from last year "Asked if he is healthy now, Paul told KSHE 95: "Yeah, thank you. Thank God, really. But I do thank hyperbaric [oxygen therapy] as well, which is the treatment you can get. You just sit in there, oxygen under pressure. The only thing you feel is a little bit in your ears; it's like flying on a little puddle jumper airplane. But that's all. And then you just watch a movie for an hour and you're done. You breathe in and [the oxygen] recirculates through your brain and it's very good. It took a year and a half to get my voice back after all that stroke."

The next Paul Rodgers song you should check out is Shooting Star by Bad Company. The guitarist of free is Paul Kossoff. He died of an overdose in 1976 and Shooting Star was written a year before, but it might as well be Kossoff's eulogy. It's almost as if Rodgers knew what was going to happen on some level and had the perfect song already recorded.

String muting is a very common and frequently used technique. Sometimes done by the right hand, as well as what you noticed here with the left hand. Another technique is by keeping left hand fingers on the strings but lifting them off the frets enough to stop ringing out. Muting is used in 99.9% of songs I think it’s safe to say. It’s just not that noticeable usually.
