Tons of Sobs is the debut studio album by the English rock band Free, released in the UK on 14 March 1969.[2] While the album failed to chart in the UK, it reached number 197 in the US.[4] Free are cited as one of the definitive bands of the British blues boom of the late 1960s, even though this is the only album of their canon that can strictly be called blues rock.[5] It had the band's first minor hit "I'm a Mover", which was released as a single in December 1968.
