Introduction
Kossoff was one of Britain’s best ever Blues Rock guitarists. My guess is that many in the GMC community won’t recognise the name depite Kossof being named as the 51st best guitarist in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time! Clearly Kossoff was and is without doubt one of the greats. Everyone will have heard the song All Right Now by Free and thus have heard him play without knowing who it is playing.
He was born in London in September 1950. He was a founding member of Free and his blues based guitar played on his trademark Les Paul defined their sound, at times mellow but at others pure bules based heavy rock.
