Paul Kossoff with Black Cat Bones - Paul's Blues (DCD 2008) RE-UP

This double CD contains the earliest known recordings of Paul Kossoff, whose tragic death in March 1976 robbed the rock world of one of its finest-ever blues guitarists. Taped at rehearsals with Black Cat Bones in London in 1967, the raw, lo-fi tracks find the teenager already a master of his instrument. Accompanied by musicians including Derek and Stuart Brooks (later to form the legendary Leaf Hound), and featuring a guest appearance from Paul Rodgers (soon to form Free with Kossoff), the recordings are of considerable historical importance. This set is an essential downloads for all serious rock fans.

allmusic.com says: Paul Kossoff, known mostly as guitarist with Free, did some time in Black Cat Bones before joining the more famous band, though the records that Black Cat Bones put out (subsequent to his departure) didn't feature him. Some documentary evidence of his time in Black Cat Bones does exist, however, and the double-CD Paul's Blues has more than two hours of rehearsals Black Cat Bones taped in 1967 while Kossoff (still only in his mid-teens) was in the lineup. While on the face of it that sounds like it could make for a great archival find, excitement even among dedicated fans of the guitarist has to be tempered by the knowledge that these recordings are both lo-fi and musically rudimentary. We're not talking lo-fi just in the sense of them not being as polished as most of the era's studio recordings; the sound really is subpar, complete with occasional tape glitches and accidental feedback. To its credit, the package makes that quite clear in the back blurb and extensive annotation, but it doesn't help make it any easier of a listening experience.

Of more importance, nor do the quite raw and fairly unimpressive performances, which show Black Cat Bones at this point to be very much a just-getting-to-the-point-of-professional basic blues-rock band. Kossoff's guitar work is clearly the most distinguished aspect of the group, yet even this is far less refined and imaginative than it would be just a short time later in Free. The songs are largely covers of shopworn blues classics – some vocal, some wholly instrumental, some presented in two or three different versions – like B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," Elmore James' "The Sky Is Cryin'" and "Shake Your Moneymaker," Sonny Boy Williamson's "Help Me," and Freddy King's "San Ho-Zay." British blues-rock bands could come up with exciting versions of even such well-traveled songs, but Black Cat Bones simply weren't at that point yet, with most of the songs plodding to some degree and going on way too long. As a fan of Kossoff's work (especially in Free), it's painful not to be able to find something more positive to say about the music. But it largely serves to illustrate just how much more effective he was when reined in by Free's massively tighter ensemble work and superior material. Even the one track with a guest vocal by Paul Rodgers ("I'm Ready") is a letdown due to the muffled singing. The compilation's value is exclusively to very serious Free and Kossoff fans, though in its defense it doesn't pretend to be any more than that, with interesting and affectionate liner notes by Peter James and Black Cat Bones drummer Frank Perry.
