Foot Loose & Fancy Free, Rod Stewart's eighth album, came out in November 1977 on Riva in Britain and Warner Bros. in America, the follow-up to the platinum A Night on the Town. Tom Dowd produced, and Rod's sandpaper rasp gets a full workout across a record that won't sit still.

"Hot Legs" is strutting, leering hard rock, "You're Insane" goes funky, and the take on "You Keep Me Hanging On" filters Motown through progressive rock. Then there are the ballads he always had up his sleeve, led by "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)". "I Was Only Joking" arrived as the third of its four singles. The album kept up a three-record run that went to number one or the top three in the US, Canada, Britain and Australia.
