Bad Company are one of the bands I instantly think of when I hear the term Classic Rock. Formed in ’73 by ex-Free members Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke, ex-Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralph, and King Crimson bass player Bozz Burrell – the word supergroup was invented for these guys.
Taking that Free sound and giving it a slightly more commercial edge, they were onto a winner from the get go with lead single Cant Get Enough. A superb track with a very simple riff and groove, and yet catchier than a virus at a COVID convention – an all time classic tune.
Paul Rodgers is superb throughout the record, especially his performance on Ready For Love and the title track. He has such a beautiful warm tone to his voice that many have tried to copy. The production on this album is awesome. The separation of the instruments and the clarity with which they come through, I have to say this is one of the best sounding records I own. Favourite track has to be Can’t Get Enough, it is one of the best songs ever made.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
