Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by ex-Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, Back Street Crawler delivered their debut 'The Band Plays On' amidst considerable internal turbulence. The record is a resilient, straightforward collection of gritty blues-rock and hard rock, anchored by Kossoff's highly emotive, vibrato-laden guitar lines.
