Foot Loose & Fancy Free

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 ending with A Night On The Town. The album contains elements of hard rock ("Hot Legs"), funk rock ("You're Insane"), and progressive rock ("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.
