Foot Loose & Fancy Free is Rod Stewart’s eighth album, released in November 1977 on Riva Records in the UK and Warner Bros in the US.
The album is the final album in a string of Stewart’s acclaimed 1970s albums, beginning with Atlantic Crossing and including the platinum-selling A Night on the Town.
The album contains elements of hard rock (˝Hot Legs˝), funk rock (˝You’re Insane˝), and progressive rock via Motown (˝You Keep Me Hanging On˝), as well as Stewart’s usual ballads (˝You’re in My Heart˝). ˝I Was Only Joking˝, a tale about regret and the care-free minds of the young, has become one of Stewart’s most loved compositions.
