PAUL KOSSOFF with BLACK CAT BONES
PAULS BLUES
Audio CD 29 Sep 2008
Label: Sunbeam
Format: Mp3@320


With a feeling for guitar pure and untainted as Fleetwood Macs Peter Green was to later observe, 16-year old Kossoff reveals precocious musicianship in 1967 London rehearsals for this Chicago-based blues band, from which this 2-CD set is culled. A musical metaphor for Virginia Woolfs stream of consciousness, his playing is as fluid and expressive as Green or Claptons, and while these recordings, culled from over six hours of tapes, are often raw, muddy listening, they still compel. Koss, Derek and Stuart Brookes (later to form cult act Leaf Hound) and jazz drummer Frank Perry run through blues standards including `Bad Blood, `Rock Me Baby and `Shake Your Moneymaker with occasionally weary determination. But when it starts muddling, Kossoff always regains the narrative thread and runs with it. Future band-mate, Free vocalist Paul Rodgers does a brief turn on `Im Ready, but doesnt sound it. A generous booklet with rare photographs and first-hand experience notes reference with care and detail what must have been special to witness. Fame with Free beckoned a year later, but Kossoff never got over the bands break-up and died in 1976 of heart failure brought on by depression and drug abuse, making this tinderbox moment the more poignant and important to share now.
