Paul Kossoff - Time Away
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2007
- From the Back Street Crawler album, I just put this together quickly to give you a chance to hear this amazing track Koss wrote after his near death experience. Hence the title "Time Away" because of his stay in hospital. From memory Simon Kirke is on drums.

brilliant guitar from paul kossoff enough to make you cry
You don't need vocals when you have a man who sings with his guitar. Paul Kosoff was that man...
kossoff ,green,beck,clapton,gilmore,knopfler what a great tradition of blues and deep understanding and love to music it is something for britain to be proud of it gave me so much and many others
I could cry when I listen to this beautiful 40 years ago😂😂😂😂
I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE KOSSOF'S FANTASTIC GUITAR PLAYING. HIS GUITAR SOUND WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THE HEARTS OF THE GUITAR LOVERS. MAGNIFICENT!!!
An object lesson in , "sometimes less is more". Koss's playing had economy , but was rich in soul and dripping in emotion.
I play guitar a king Paul learns u 2 minimal play
Fantastic blues rock guitarist 🎸 always really liked this guy 😊😊
Marvelous play!
I'm Japanese but I like him the best.
RIP Kossoff
The great thing about music is that crosses all ethnic and social boundaries.
well done

So good speechlesss ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸RIP Paul Kossoff Guitar God
If you are ever asked what a soul sounds like when it cry's or bleeds.....send them here.
Wendell G yes!!!!
Paul Kossoff is a brilliant guitar player!!
This song remind's me a lot of some of Peter Green's songwriting. Thanks for posting it. Koss is one of my biggest influences on guitar, I hate that he died so needlessly, it really trouble's me.
Just Beautiful. The best guitarist ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
when listening to Kossofs music, one can hear, feel that there are bits of his soul embedded into those notes... fantastic
What to say... THE GREATEST EVER! Me too - always play his music and will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for all the moments of joy, Koss ! Long live your guitar playing.
I loved this song when I was 16...
Koss hacía hablar a esa Les Paul, su legado no desaparece , alma y vibrato
Kossoff was a great inspiration to many of todays guitarists. I saw Kossoff that night at the Kursaal when I was 23..I decided thats how I would like to sound!
sweet music
What has happend with thie music nowadays :( ...almost each day I pray for a 60's - 70's revival.
still love you sir. you will never be forgotten my friend. Stay safe. xxx
Some people say more with one note...than the rest say in a career.....

Koss was / is, ace!
HE COMPREHENDED,his genius on the neck was an extension of his tortured soul,a light in a very dark room,for some,to me he was inspirational,drove me to practice till I understand the pleasure of a finely tuned instrument
Ji. Love You forever You have been a Big part off my live You mean a lot to me 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👍👍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
what a wonderful man and a wonderful musician. What a shame.....
First heard this while working in a radio station. Got the album as a promo and NOBODY wanted to even listen to it. (Disco, huh...) I listened while doing an overnight and was stunned. It cemented Koss as one of my favorite guitarists (right there with Zappa and Django). Amazing piece of music. Thank you so much for the post.
The most amazing thing about kossoff is that he is an old school guitar player ..theres an amplifier and a chord straight into to a gibson les paul nothin more the sound is in the finger tips!Many player put loads of money in equipment and they complain they cant get a variety of sounds in a les paul guitar..I tell them listen to Paul Kossoff!! Its all in the playing technic feeling and touch of course ..talent
There's an 18 minute version of this on the "Songs of Yesterday" box set. So few notes, so much feel. More feel than anyone. Superb !!!
What an absolute vortex of fire this is. The emotional power in this is so very strong. Unbelievable. How can anyone be so expressive with six metal strings and say it all so clearly? Wonderful.
Oh how I miss that time, all the great music and all the great people. A lot of them already gone.
Every time I listen to that tune I almost start crying, its so unbelievable
Masterclass koss🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️
Some of the purest raw emotion to ever be put to tape!
Brilliant. Thank You. Nice to pause and read the clips too.
First time I've heard this, yes and I've being listening to Free for 35 years+. The Back Street Crawler Band album is also recommended. Can find anyone who plays with as much passion and soul as Koss. Much respect.
im 15 been loving free for bout 4 years... i love kossof. this song makes me cry
Many thanks for that, great work ! Oh my, all these scenes seem a million miles away, or a hundred years at least. Don't feel ashamed for a little teardrop ...
Superb!
His father came to my school once to put on an anti-drugs campaign using Paul's music 27 years ago. Nobody had heard of Paul Kossoff but when we left the show we did and played Free on the football pitch smoking weed, ironic really. It was an afternoon I'll never forget because we were mostly 5th formers who were starting to get into Floyd and the rest and starting to see Guns n Roses as manufactured garbage. Paul R.I.P.
This gives me shivers. This is coming from deep, deep down.
His Dad, famous in his own right, was devastated when his little boy died and devoted the rest of his life touring and warning of the futility of drugs.
This song though feels like its really from the heart and soul, beautiful.
Indeed. Koss was, to quote Andy Fraser, the ultimate feel player. He was riddled with insecurity and never felt he was really any good because he was, despite his accomplishments with Free, really not very good at rote playing. It was tremendous effort for him and you really see at times with Free when he breaks free for a solo how striking his own style is compared to the songs. He felt that was a weakness but I always thought it made him so exciting.
'Kossoff's unhappiness with the end of Free and his drug addictions contributed to a drastic decline in the guitarist's health. On a flight from Los Angeles to New York on 19 March 1976, Kossoff died from heroin-related heart problems. The day before, he had a jam session with keyboard player Dennis Provisor. He was cremated and interred at the Golders Green Crematorium. His epitaph reads "All Right Now".
wiki
stop blaming drug for every shit. you write great music? 'it's the drug' you are the greatest soccer player? 'it's the drug'. he died of an heart attack. period. write that to your wiki crap.
@@spiritualcramp8000 it was the drugs have you seen the presentation by his father David Kossoff? have a look at it its on you tube.
Actually it was covid, because everyone knows that covid is the single cause of death in the world. It was right under our noses the whole time!
a major freak a talent blowin in the wind, johnny from shooting star!
FREE AT LAST
Best of the best❤
Just found this and with 19 March not far off very thought provoking. Reading the comments is sad and I agree with most, but listen to the Guy's playing and it will make you smile. Sometimes sad but always powerful and a really unique sound that few have come close to.
For Koss afficionado's I commend the book Heavy Load by David Clayton and for aural treat the original extended studio version of The Stealer released on a CD compilation a year or two back. What a solo!!
this is like he was leaving us something to remember him by.Every ounce of emotion he had went into this track.Sadly missed.
haunting so much feeling and soul..paul my friend....where ever you are miss you!!
Oh Gawd, almost more than I can stand. Magnificent.
..really moving..thanks for the beautiful thing you've done...music from the heart....
This is just beautiful.
Koss loved those LP's.. And with that tone why not.
WOW! Thank you so much for posting this with the amazing photos.
Kossoff was one of the greats, even at such a young age.
I have the Backstreet Crawler album, and most Free albums.
Although the whole band was phenomenal, IMHO, it was Kossoff
who was the heart and soul.
Thanks for putting this up. Some guitarists need a thousand notes to say something, and then there's Paul Kossoff. He can make so few mean so much
This is my all time favourite track - they can play this when they stick me in the cold, cold ground..................
Thanks for the posting. It brought back many fine memories of The Man & his music.
Otherworldly. Koss is in a league of his own.
this really is beautifully done.....haunting , moving ....
I hear his Heart Strings being played. Do not remember this artist thanks to my Angel BEing for sending this my way today. Close my eyes and he takes me to a place where he can woe my soul to reconnecting to my soul-self. Fantastic artist such voicing really coming from a deep place in his spirit. Honored to have this gem to listen to before bedtime. :-) XO
Every time I hear that song, I almost tear up. What an absolute shame. What a waste. No one did it better. I am out of things to say...I let the music do the talking. I miss you Koss..
BEST FEEL & VIBRATO PLAYER I EVER HEARD. THIS GUYS AMAZING!!! HOPE HE HAD A TISSUE AS EVEN THE GUITARS WET FROM TEARS
Thank you, Frozenfish for putting these wonderful videos up...I've enjoyed every one that you've posted.All young guitarist should listen to this track to hear what guitar playing is all about.
Thank you. Very well put together. I found it very moving.
Brilliant
cheers for this video! i love koss, this is so typically him, really organic and flowing. his notes are unreal!
thanks for sharing, its made my day!
Thanks! Excellent music here.
You;re so right Nicki. You have to open a vein to play like this. This is the same league as Jeff Beck, Roy Buchanan, Peter Greenbaum and Harvey Mandel. I believe the word is 'transcendant'.
Haunting track, fantastic video. Great work!
il maestro....
great video..thanks for sharing!!!
Paul had such a style.
Only 1 Koss 🙏
still mist.long time now. he was the best with out dout.
Wow Back Street Crawler..Terry Slesser on vocals...i remember when kossoff died....i gave terry slesser my sheepskin coat..it was cold in nyc...he was nice...kossoff and those guys were recoeding in nyc at electric ladyland studios..i had no idea what special moments they were..i was too young...they were alsofriends with a guy named rabbitt bundrick..keyboards..and tetsu yamuchi..bass
oh man thats cool just wind it down a few notches have a beer or 3 just listen to the vibe wow!!
Koss was economical with the notes but to this day there is NO ONE to match the feeling he puts into the music any FREE lover will know what I mean saw him in 1968 at the Nags Head Wollaston with FREE and other times during his career lastly with Back Street Crawler at Kursaal Southend on 31.May 1975 He was the best ....And still is
I hear a lot of Hendrix in Paul's playing, but it sounds so deep through his Les Paul. I love it!
Poignant
very haunting melody....reminds me of my days in front of my bright blue padded kustom amp I had 6' tall and screamin tones from those black widow speakers.
E' la sua semplicità che me lo ha fatto diventare un idolo
Love you Koss
RIP bro
Fascinating thread, and great vid
thanks for this video
@TimWalker
Leslie speakers I believe, which he got into when he put his guitar through Rabbit's kit during the KKTR sessions.
Great tune from a guitarist who truly played from the heart.There was a song he recorded with BSC entitled 'Jason Blue' that I would love to hear again. If anybody has posted or knows of someone who has, please let me know it would be greatly appreciated. RIP Paul.
Great job with the slideshow / video clip montage.
love ya koss, RIP
@taildragger51 nice tribute, my favorite song,thanks.
With john Martyn as well i believe...beautiful track
best axe playing in the world
YES, it sure does!
Alan White is on drums. I love Kossoff and Rodgers.
I stood outside a venue along with about 4 times the number of people that it could hold waiting for Free. They announced that the band couldn't play because Koss was 'ill' which meant he was bombed out of his head somewhere. The riot was very nasty. I never got another chance to see him. Sadly.
Load your Ipod with these Free songs; you won't hear them much if at all anymore on classic rock stations. Sadly so.
u wud never think he would take drugs but most big stars do coz they hav so much ..life gets boring... man ur missed
here here
I own his Eko acoustic, he lent it to my dad back in the day, and died of the overdose before my dad returned it.
but its still being put to use, im a singer songwriter myself (this is my music channel) and soon ill have another vid up, with most guitar recorded on it, mostly slide
I will never be able to replace the legend of the guitars original owner, but wat i can do is keep playing it and putting it to its musical use, like it was made to
Its what paul would have wanted
R.I.P mate
Paul Kossoff he sounds his own...
Somehow I got off the Beaten path of Bucket videos... and ended up here. I know BH hasn't said anything about this, but from this song, I think I can hear some Kossof influence in his playing. Awesome song.
Defo man. Now you said it. There is a BH feel to this track.
John Martyn plays on this! You can really hear them play off each other on the full 40 minute jam which i must say is just downright fucking hauntingly beautiful.
You can find it on the deluxe edition back street crawler album, i heard it on spotify which is a free music site
Free was his life, He didn't really start getting real bad into drugs until they broke up. sad
He, along with Jimmy McCullough, is the Great Lost Guitarist of the 70s.
