When
I think of the term “supergroup”, Bad Company are one of the first
bands that spring to mind. With their 1974 self-titled debut album, they
absolutely lived up to that billing. The British group featured two
former members of Free and their unfussy, soulful rock picks up where
Free left off but in a more feelgood, riff-based, rock ‘n’ roll mode
courtesy of ex-Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs. And Ralphs ensured
they achieved mega success by penning the ingeniously simple single
Can’t Get Enough, a cruising and carefree radio staple. Not to be
outdone, vocalist Paul Rodgers chipped in the album’s masterful title
track, a thoroughly stirring mix of ghostly atmosphere and outlaw
manliness. Other highlights include the priapic proto-Whitesnake Rock
Steady and a sublimely classy remake of Mott’s Ready For Love.
Bad
Company were having too good a time to infuse the album’s ballads with
anything near the emotional heavy load that Free conjured but tracks
like The Way I Choose have proven to be growers over decades of
listening and are great vehicles for Rodgers’ smooth vocals. The whole
album sounds ballsy and beautiful, especially Ralphs’ creamy guitar
tones. Bad Company is the cool, confident and timeless sound of talented
musicians revelling in a newfound personal and creative chemistry. When
I think of the term “classic rock” Bad Company is one of the first
albums that springs to mind.
