Bad Company self titled album

After the powerhouse band Free called it quits with contentions ranging from temperamental macho Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser at constant odds with each other over creative control,Fraser submitted his waling papers,though just speculation,part of the discord may have been due to Frazer's bi sexual lifestyle,something I think Rodgers couldn't swallow,ironically,both of these songwriting geniuses penned most of the bands brilliant beauties such as ''All Right Now'',and my favorite ''Woman''

Enter Bad Company,for that matter their debut album of the same title, a staple for most garage bands who covered their hits like Movin on,and ''Can't get enough'' both from the albums release in 1974.

Mick Ralphs formally from Mott The Hoople,and Boz Burrell from King Crimsom would come aboard leaving Rogers and Simon Kirke as Free's only members,Paul Kossoff would O.D. at age 25.

What I find so ironic that Bad Co's soft ballads were more laudable then their hard rock,''don't let me down with Rodgers on piano remains my favorite song of all time.The title of the album was taken from the 1972 film western Bad Company starring Jeff Bridges.

This album is a masterpiece,with gorgeous guitar riffs courtesy of Mick Ralphs with mind blowing drumming by Kirke,sad to see that the band would take an embarrassing nose dive after their second album masterpiece Straight Shooter,and should have done some'' Movin on'' if you''ll pardon the pun to spare our ears of some rather bathetic musical bathwater.Remastered on 180 gram by Rhino records,no collection should do without this vinyl dandy!
