  KKTR  Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu, Rabbit  (Island,1972) - Blues rock       Recorded after  Free  disbanded, drummer Kirke elected to remain with guitar player Paul Kossoff forming a quartet with Bundrick and Yamauchi in 1971. Kirke has noted that although initially Kossoff appeared in good spirits and was engaged in making the album, he increasingly indulged in drugs, often falling asleep between takes or while listening to playbacks.       Well received and filled with quality songwriting, Kirke's song "Anna" was later re-recorded with  Bad Company , the band that he and Rodgers established after the final breakup of Free. Also, "Hold On" was covered by  Maggie Bel l , which was included in the album  Suicide Sal . TRACKLIST : Blue Grass                        Sammy's Alright                        Ann...

  PETER GREEN  The End Of The Game  (Reprise,1970) - Instrumental rock       The style of this album is a radical departure from his work with Fleetwood Mac, consisting of edited pieces of a long studio jam. The jam was experimental and free-form, and the six tracks taken from it have very loose or non-existent musical structure, with all the tracks being instrumentals.

  PROCOL HARUM  Home  (Regal Zonophone,1970) - Progressive rock       The overall feeling of this album is melancholic and solemn, with some bluesy rockers giving a little balance to it. I think that the atmosphere of these songs make this album as a true masterpiece! This is just very different kind of music than their first hits, so I guess many people don't hear that kind of music that they would expect from this album. All tracks from the "Whiskey Train" to the "Whaling stories" are marvelous, and I think that they form a nice compact continuum of music. The final song is maybe the dullest of these all, but it's short and an easy one to skip.

  STEVE MILLER BAND  Rock Love  (Capitol,1971) - Rock       This is generally regarded as the black sheep in the SMB ’s discography. Although it features new material, the first half is recorded live and the whole thing appears to have been rush released. There are no formal production credits, no engineer (or remix engineer) cited, no explanation of overdubs. Despite all that,  Rock Love  isn’t as bad as critics have historically made it out to be. As a singer and guitarist, Miller is still as solid as a rock, and the quality of the material isn’t so far removed from the albums before and after.

  STYX  Styx  (Wooden Nickel, 1972) - Prog/Hard rock       The debut album by  Styx  is a mix of toil and toll: half an album of original music and half an album of covers selected by the band’s label, Wooden Nickel.  Styx  (later referred to as  Styx I ) is best remembered for its ambitious 13-minute opening track and the hard-rocking  Best Thing .
