Great album Simon! A relaxed and breezy solo album but not in a lazy sense.
All Because of You and Warm Gulf Water just set the tone for the whole album. Feel Like Making Love is excellent, a complete remake of the original with ukulele! Maria and Friends in the Woods are more highlights. Great great album...Simon sounds in great voice, happy and in love on this record and it makes for a great listen. Cheers!
Born and raised in London, the Beatles perked a teenage Simons interest in rock music, and he picked up the drums - leading to a gig with a local band called the Maniacs, on which Simon supplied drums and lead vocals (something quite uncommon at the time). Simon worked out a deal with his parents after graduating high school, that if he couldnt "make it" as a drummer in a band within a two-year period, that he would begin a college career. Just a few months before the deadline, Simon landed a gig with a group called the Black Cat Bones. The drummer befriended the groups talented guitarist, Paul Kossoff, who in turn convinced Simon to leave the group with him and begin a new outfit with singer Paul Rodgers. Soon ex-John Mayalls Bluesbreakers bassist Andy Fraser signed on and Free was officially formed in 1968. Mixing blues with hard rock, the group would prove to be quite influential, especially on the strength of their classic 1970 release, Fire and Water, and its strutting, anthemic hit single, "All Right Now." When the band broke up, it didnt take Simon long to find another gig, joining Paul Rodgers in a new band, Bad Company, which was quite similar stylistically to Free. Joined by ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell and ex-Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, Bad Company was the first group signed to Led Zeppelins record label, Swan Song. Their debut album, 1974s Bad Company, would go on to become one of hard rocks all-time classics, as it birthed such long-standing rock radio standards as "Cant Get Enough," "Ready for Love," and the title track, written by Paul and Simon himself. The group hails as one of the all-time top rock outfits. Simon Kirke is the only member of Bad Company who’s been in every lineup of the band.
