This is such a juicy cover of Free’s classic that we had to share it. Guitars and beats are laid on just thick enough, and singer/lifelong Free fan Leo Robarts gives Rival Sons’ Jay Buchanan a run for his money, leaning into this rich, glam-soul stomp take on the original 1969 melody. As Leo explains, the idea sprung from a dream-like meeting with Rodgers backstage at Hyde Park, when he was singing with Queen. “Piers and I ended up in Paul’s trailer after the gig, and I started to sing “I’ll Be Creepin’ to him and he joined in! A dream come true.”
Performed by : (Sweet Crisis 2022) Leo Robarts, Piers Mortimer, Matt Duduryn, Joe Taylor, Dom Briggs-Fish.
