TRACKS LISTING: The Highway Song The Stealer On My Way Be My Friend Sunny Day Ride On Pony Love You So Bodie Soon I Will Be Gone
"Highway" was recorded just three months after Free scored the career-redefining hit "All Right Now", and while their profile was at a career-topping high, their morale was heading toward an all-time low. Guitarist Paul Kossoff was reeling from the death of friend Jimi Hendrix; a new single, "The Stealer", belly-flopped ignominiously; and, when the album followed suit, the band itself was not far behind. Heavily influenced by their admiration for the Band, Highway has understandably been described as Free's answer to "Music from Big Pink", sharing both the laid-back vibe and mellow looseness of that role model.
