"All Right Now" was the one that broke Free wide open: the second single from Fire and Water, the band's third studio album, released on Island in 1970, and a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser wrote it, and the band cut it at Trident Studios, leaving so much air between the chords that every crash of the guitar lands like a door slamming. It's hard rock stripped to the studs, all strut and space.

It never really went away. It came back out in 1973 and again in 1991 in a Bob Clearmountain remix, it had racked up 3,000,000 American airplays by 2006, and a Stanford Band arrangement became the university's unofficial fight song.
