Free - Trouble On Double Time Lyrics

Free's second album was recorded with the band itself in considerable turmoil. Principal songwriters Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser demanded strict discipline from their bandmates, and guitarist Paul Kossoff in particular equally demanded the spontaneity and freedom that had characterized the group's debut. It was an awkward period; both Kossoff and drummer Simon Kirke came close to quitting, (Apparently Koss wanting to join the Stones or Jethro Tull) and only the intervention of Island label chief Chris Blackwell seems to have prevented it. Few of these tensions, however, are evident on the finished album. (Tribute, again, to Blackwell's powers of diplomacy.) He replaced original producer Guy Stevens early into the sessions and, having reminded both warring parties where the band's strengths lay, proceeded to coax out an album that stands alongside its predecessor as a benchmark of British blues at the turn of the 1970s. Who would have thought that a band based on friendship nearly ended after one album.

great song

I've been a bad bad boy
And I know I should be good
A bad boy
So long that it must be in my blood oh!
Oh! yeah
Oh! Oh
Let me tell you this
I've been feelin' my way
Every chance I get
You know I love every woman
Every woman you can bet

Trouble on double time

You know my school teacher
Told me before I left school
That a man with two women's
Not a man but a fool

Feelin' my way
Every chance I get
You know I love every woman
Every woman you can bet

Trouble on double time

Feelin' my way
Every chance I get
You know I love every woman
Every woman you can bet

Trouble on double time

It's driving me out of my mind
Driving me out of my mind
Driving me out of my mind

fucking gold!!

I've loved this album since it came out. Great blues band.

And Andy Fraser didn't consider himself a bass player! more a Free odd job man

Bloody brilliant band!!

This song I've wanted to cover for DECADES along with "I'll be Creepin"....hard, old-school, classic underground rock.....this album is fukkin huge and one of the few bands songs I ever wanted to cover besides my own music

I just learned it myself :D really damn hard to sing and play at the same time

El thought i let you know there is nice little box set of all Free CD'S, you will most likely find it in your local HMV or on Amazon

minorkatminor There was no keyboeard player in Free, if you hear a keyboard here that's Andy Fraser playing it.

+Daniel Micheli   John "Rabbit" Bundrick joined Free on Keyboards when they reformed without Andy. No keyboardist in the original line up...

+♫ Juke Joint ♪ The web says he played bass, guitar, piano and did vocals with Free. Remember, he was trained classically for seven years in piano. He switched to bass because John Mayall needed one and Alexis Korner recommended Andy...

Rodgers played piano guitar bass drums and was an amazing singer...it's him on the piano here

R.I.P. Andy Fraser!!!

+metallooney R.I.P. Paul Kossoff also...

FREE=====Musical, Poetic Justice....Paul's vocals go hard, like it is!

a great forgotten song,,the best version!1 :0)

The singer and drummer are 20 yrs old, the bass player is 16, the keyboardist is 21 and the guitar player is 19 at the time this was recorded. This song can never be called "old", its the audio of teenagers and young 20 yr old captured in time.. Fucking bad ass too by the way Paul has got a sound. When I say sound I mean like CCR has a "sound".

the keyboardist is the bassist......
